Performance tests on asphalt mixtures at multiple temperatures and development of pavement temperature maps
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Thermal cracking and rutting are deteriorations that significantly affect asphalt pavements in the United States (US). Thermal cracking is a prevalent problem in the coldest...
Conservation and allocation of slope in gravity sanitary sewer design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
constraints throughout each route. The methodology was tested in an undeveloped area near Ashland, Missouri to simulate a new development. Two pairs of baseline and slope conserving routes were evaluated, and the slope-conserving routes were found to require...
Model-based simulations of the piercing process in piezo-ICSI
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
To develop a piezo intracytoplasmic sperm injection (piezo-ICSI) procedure without using mercury, the real physics behind the zona piercing must be understood. An effort has been made to formulate a three-dimensional model ...
Modeling pedestrian crash severity in St. Louis using random forests and mixed logit techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The pedestrian-vehicle crashes in the City of St. Louis is a major concern due to the high magnitude of injuries and fatalities compared to Missouri's statewide collisions. Thus, there is a need to identify and prioritize the correlates of injury...
Analysis and design of reinforced concrete wall systems for blast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Building envelope is the first and most critical line of defense for a structure against external explosion. Building envelope can be divided into two categories; structural...
Simulation and optimization of low impact development for mitigating combined sewer overflows associated with climate change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Modeling rainfall runoff can help to understand what is happening throughout the system, how can control of water to prevent flood, and how much the quality of runoff can change...
Kinetics, mass transfer, and mass re-equilibrium for arsenate adsorption on iron oxide-based carbons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Removal of arsenic (As) from drinking water sources is much needed worldwide, and small water treatment systems, such as point-of-use (POU) treatment, could be an effective...
Comparative study of type 2 median crossovers and median u-turns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases ...
Long-term sensing system for bridge piers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Structural instability of bridge piers resulting from scour or other natural hazards can lead to bridge collapse. As a result, a method of monitoring bridge piers is needed to evaluate long-term changes in structural ...
Statistical and simulation methods for evaluating stationary and mobile work zone impacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
and almost no quantitative study assessing MWZ safety impact. Using Missouri data, this study introduces 20 new crash prediction models for SWZs on freeways, expressways, rural two lane highways, urban multi-lane highways, arterials, ramps, signalized...
Load and resistance factor design of drilled shafts subjected to lateral loading at service limit state
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Since 2007, the American Association of State Highway Administration Officials (AASHTO) has made utilization of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) mandatory on all federally-funded new bridge projects (AASHTO, 2007). ...
