Condition assessment of carbon fiber composites using raman spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The goal of this research is to examine the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a method of condition assessment for carbon fiber composite materials. Carbon fiber composites are used in high performance situations such as ... -
Development and application of vegetative buffer width modeling using geographic information systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)It has been widely accepted that vegetative buffers are effective in removing nonpoint source pollutants. However, problems focusing on vegetated buffers studies remain, especially in technical aspects (i.e., how to design ... -
Evaluation of the service performance of an innovative precast prestressed concrete pavement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Precast prestressed concrete pavement (PPCP) is the product of an optimization of conventional materials coupled with economical fabrication and transportation means to create a product that exceeds the performance and ... -
Processing of synthetic aperture radar data as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used by the geoscience community for many years to obtain ground deformation measurements of large-scale spatial features. Researchers have also ... -
Response of micropiles in earth slopes from large-scale physical model tests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Micropiling is an efficient method used for stabilizing the problematic slopes. However, load transfer in micropiles is not well understood when the load is applied by the soil movement. The objective of this research is ...
