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.

Reliability-based versus allowable stress design of foundations for the Center for Missouri Studies building
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Uncertainty in design parameters is inherent to the field of geotechnical engineering. Allowable stress design has conventionally been used for foundation design and accounts for uncertainty in geotechnical parameters and ... -
Safety modeling for two certain urban intersection types, HSM calibration, and crash severity distribution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)According to several years' official crash data, a significant proportion of crashes happened at roadway intersections in Missouri. Of those intersection crashes, a large number of crashes occurred at urban roadway ... -
Development of a portable total-stress measurement instrument
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This research explores the application of ultrasonic stress measurement (USM) technologies to assess stress levels in gusset plates with the development ... -
Recent efforts on model-based simulation of engineering problems : multiphysics and multiphase interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Simulation-Based Engineering Science (SBES) is playing a more important role in gaining new knowledge and providing guidance for engineering activities, in particular, in the fields in which time scale and/or spatial scale ... -
Characterization of adobe wall structural systems for dynamic response
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Adobe building construction exists around the world. Most of the adobe structures are located in active seismic zones, and a considerable amount of ... -
Management of DBP formation using enhanced treatment technologies and an array of prediction tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Inefficient removal of total organic carbon (TOC) leads to the formation of carcinogenic disinfection by-products (DBPs) when a disinfectant is added. This study is performed in an effort to develop a simple, non-invasive ... -
Transportation safety modeling and evaluation: alternative geometric designs, enforcement, and airfield applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A top priority of transportation agencies in the United States is to improve safety of transportation facilities through the use of latest technology, innovative designs, procedural methods, and training practices to ... -
Estimating the rock mass modulus of Missouri shale using pressuremeter tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Rock mass modulus can be a useful property in the design of foundations. Rock mass modulus is defined as the stress strain response of a rock mass in-situ. The stress strain response of the rock mass can be estimated by ... -
Dynamic increase factor in reinforced concrete frames under disproportionate collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Under a disproportionate collapse, the sudden loss of a support causes a dynamic response that can amplify the internal forces in the surrounding members and lead to significant global damage. This study considered a ... -
Safety evaluation of roundabouts at freeway ramp terminals and HSM calibration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Although the conventional understanding is that roundabouts have the potential to improve safety at intersections, particularly by reducing more severe crash types, there is limited knowledge on their safety impacts when ... -
Evaluation of post punching capacity of flat plates under progressive collapse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)This research investigates the post-punching resistance of flat-plate buildings without continuous bottom reinforcement. An overview on both the historical development of the analytical theories of punching mechanisms and ... -
Transportation safety modeling and evaluation: alternative geometric designs, enforcement, and airfield applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A top priority of transportation agencies in the United States is to improve safety of transportation facilities through the use of latest technology, ... -
Forecasted versus in situ dielectric constants for soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Some nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques in civil engineering applications employ electromagnetic (EM) wave methods. These techniques have proven to be effective for many applications including investigating and ... -
Anaerobic co-digestion of edible and inedible food waste with sewage sludge
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Co-digestion processes of three specific mixing ratios of food waste (FW) with sewage sludge were tested in one-stage anaerobic digestion (AD)system induplicate to evaluate methane (CH4) and hydrogen sulfide(H2S) production. ... -
Performance of the laminated glass systems under static and blast pressure loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The increase of explosions threats toward civilian targets has raised concerns about a building's safety. Laminated glass (LG) is one of the widely ... -
