RSS 1.0Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (MU)
Civil engineering, considered one of the oldest engineering disciplines, encompasses many specialties. The major ones are structural, water resources, construction, environmental, transportation, and geotechnical engineering. Environmental engineers develop solutions to environmental problems using the principles of biology and chemistry. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, to prevent environmental damage, and to clean up hazardous sites.

Monitoring of an urban level spreader as part of the collaborative adaptive management process
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Irregular flows, such as the high flows caused by stormwater runoff after a rain event are a major cause of stream impairment in urbanized watersheds. The Hinkson Creek CAM (Collaborative Adaptive Management) approach is ... -
Smartphone-based molecular sensing for advanced characterization of asphalt concrete materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Pavement systems deteriorate with time due to the aging of materials, excessive use, overloading, climatic conditions, inadequate maintenance, and deficiencies in inspection methods. Proper evaluation of pavement conditions ... -
Investigation of smart work zone technologies using mixed simulator and field studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Safety is the top concern in transportation, especially in work zones, as work zones deviate from regular driving environment and driver behavior is very different. In order to protect workers and create a safer work zone ... -
GIS-based, python modeling of the spatial and temporal distribution of water on the landscape for wetlands decision making
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Wetlands provide many benefits for humans and the natural environment, but land use changes have reduced their number and areal extent. Interest has grown in examining surface water distribution both spatially and temporally, ... -
Process engineering to produce defined hierarchical structures of diatoms for wastewater polishing and micropollutant removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Diatoms are unicellular algae, which are among the most common types of phytoplankton. They are widespread in fresh water, oceans and soils with ... -
Low strength wastewater treatment using emerging anaerobic treatment processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Anaerobic treatment is a promising and energy saving process for low-strength wastewater treatment. Roles of half saturation constant (Ks) and maximum ... -
