Assessment of HEC-18 equations for NCHRP abutment scour based on Kansas field data
(2013)Bridge failures are caused by many different failure mechanisms, not the least of which is scour. Scour occurs due to the erosion of streambed or bank material due to flowing water and is often considered as being ... -
Bed degradation of the lower Missouri River
(2013-06-04)The phenomenon of bed degradation can be due to a multiplicity of causes, but ultimately reflects a change in either the sediment input or sediment transport capacity of a system. Causes for the accelerated rate of degradation ... -
Hydraulic design of pervious concrete highway shoulders
(2013)Stormwater drainage has been a factor in roadway design for years. Now stormwater quantity and quality are also becoming regulated for roadways. As regulations of stormwater management continue to increase so does the need ... -
Improving urban air and stormwater quality using photocatalytic highway pavement and photocatalytic pervious concrete shoulders
(2013)Pervious concrete, photocatalytic concrete, and photocatalytic pervious concrete are emerging technologies in the pavement industry, and have been researched in order to determine the efficacy of these technologies in ... -
Osteocyte mechanotransduction: changes with age - a parametric finite element study
(2013)The nature of bone is to adapt its structure in response to mechanical loading. When the bone is loaded, it is remodeled to be able to support the increased loads. Bone resorption can occur resulting in bone loss from lack ...
