A Synthesis and Optimization of Patented Direct Air Capture Technology
(2023)An engineering method termed direct air capture is used to take CO₂, the predominant global warming greenhouse gas, out of the atmosphere directly. Given that CO₂ levels in the air are only 0.04%, it presents a technical ... -
Drinking Water Treatment Waste as an Alternative for Internal Curing and Cement Replacement in Concrete
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Concrete can be a highly durable construction material when permeability is low. Hydrating cement paste shrinks through several mechanisms broadly grouped into autogenous and drying shrinkage. These mechanisms cause cracks ... -
Entrained Air-Void System For Durable Highway Concrete
(2020)In the US, the most commonly used F-T test method is AASHTO T 161 “A.” The equipment for variant A of the test is relatively low cost (~$22, 000) and compact. The relatively low cost stems from the basic construction of a ... -
Evaluation of Penetrating Sealers on Service Life of Concrete Infrastructure
(2022)In cold regions, thermal cycles and corrosion of reinforcements are the main factors that cause deterioration in concrete structures. Per each storm event, salt is used to melt snow and ice. Ultimately, water contains ... -
The Impact of Climate Variability and Land Cover Change on Groundwater Resources in The Niger River Basin
(2021)The Niger River Basin (NRB) has experienced severe droughts and floods under a significant change of the land use and land cover (LULC) with increasing population over the years. The present study is to understand the ...
