Arsenic rejection by membrane processes : model development and application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated the rejection of arsenic by several nanofiltration and inorganic clay membranes. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted ... -
Blast resistant design for roof systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The design of structures to resist explosive loads has become more of a concern to the engineering community. This research focuses on the design ... -
A constitutive model for fiber-reinforced soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Fiber inclusion to improve the properties of compacted soil is becoming increasingly common in geotechnical engineering projects. However, the technique requires extensive testing on soil and fiber samples before it can ... -
Flexure shear response in fatigue of fiber reinforced concrete beams with FRP tensile reinforcement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The primary goal of this MODOT-sponsored investigation is to characterize the flexural shear response, fatigue behavior, and performance of fiber reinforced concrete flexural sections with fiber reinforced polymer tensile ... -
Load transfer in reticulated and non-reticulated micropiles from large-scale tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Using micropiles for slope stabilization is a proven technique but there are many uncertainties with how load is transferred from the soil to the structural elements. A large-scale model was constructed to test model slopes ... -
Nonlinear finite element modeling and characterization of guyed towers under severe loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Guyed towers have been widely employed in the telecommunication industry. This study thus intends to improve the understanding and analysis of guyed towers that undergoes not only large deformation, but also large strain. ... -
Occurrence and modeling of THMS and HAA formation in drinking water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two of the largest classes of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during chlorination in drinking ... -
Safety evaluation of large truck-passenger vehicle interactions and synthesis of safety corridors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Insights into the nature of large truck-passenger car interactions and the understanding of safety corridors can lead to improvements in the safety and efficiency of freeway operations. One main contribution of this thesis ... -
Sensor characterization for long-term remote monitoring of bridge piers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Structural instability of bridge piers resulting from scour or other natural hazards can lead to bridge collapse. A monitoring system that analyzes bridge pier behavior could prevent this type of failure by detecting ...
