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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impacts of Precipitation, Land use Land cover and Soil type on the Water Balance of Lake Chad Basin
(2013)
Lake Chad Basin (LCB) has experienced drastic changes in land cover and poor water management practices during the last 50 years. The successive droughts in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in a decrease in surface water and ...
Finite element analysis and experimental validation of reinforced concrete single-mat slabs subjected to blast loads
(2013)
The work done in this research is to study the response of reinforced concrete slabs
subjected to blast loading as they can be used as protective structures around the main
structure. An experimental investigation has ...
Watershed-level Analysis of Urban Raingarden Performance
(2013)
Urban flooding became to be a big issue for many cities in the world due to the urbanization. Best Management Practices (BMP) are considered to be an economically friendly solution for the urban storm water problem.
The ...
Modeling the soft tissues of the knee joint
(2013)
Computational modeling of the knee helps us better understand the forces and strains placed on knee structures, such as the ligaments and cartilage, during ambulatory activities. With better understanding of ligament strains ...
