Decision support for slope construction and repair activities: an asset management building block
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The objective of this research was to develop a support system to facilitate appropriate decision making for construction, maintenance, and repair of earth slopes along transportation rights of way. The system was to be ... -
Development of a large-scale traffic simulation model for hurricane evacuation : a case study of Virginia's Hampton Roads region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Hurricanes are one of the most catastrophic events resulting in severe consequences including loss of life and property damage. Emergency management ... -
Knowledge discovery and data mining from freeway section traffic data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Archived traffic-generated data (traffic flow, accident, work-zone, and weather data) from PR-18 in San Juan was examined by means of association mining and the KDD process. A total of six studies were developed and studied ... -
Methodology for quantifying wetland landscape parameters for highway right of way decisions utilizing GIS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Wetlands are a type of habitat which forms an interface between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. A growing problem in the state of Missouri and around the nation is the loss of the natural wetlands due to the expansion ... -
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 ... -
Point target interferometry as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Monitoring of ground deformation is a critical component of geotechnical engineering practice. This study investigated the application of synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR), using point target analysis (IPTA) ... -
Volume change and swelling pressure of expansive clay in the crystalline swelling regime
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A significant amount of research has been carried out to characterize expansive clay behavior from either microstructural or macrostructural perspectives; however, there exists a current gap in our knowledge about the basic ...
