Empirical design charts against earthquake-induced liquefaction in cohesionless soils based on in-situ tests
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Available methods to predict the liquefaction susceptibility of cohesionless soils are based either in empirical charts (in-situ test) or laboratory tests. In-situ tests are a valuable source of information; especially in ...
Evaluation of the existing performance models used for pavement management by the Texas Department of Transportation
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The pavement management information system (PMIS) and hics. the flexible pavement design software, FPS-19, used by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for pavement management at network and project level ...
Wave runup and reflection from coastal structures in depth-limited conditions
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
An experimental hydrodynamic study was undertaken to phics. investigate the effects of depth-limited conditions on wave sunup and reflection from coastal structures. The tests were carried out in a two-dimensional wave ...
Using reference frames and the Global Positioning System (GPS) to produce control networks for spatial data
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The Global Positioning System has enabled researchers to gather spatial data on a scale that was, until recently, cost prohibitive. Projects that cover an area of a few hectares can be included in data sets that cover ...
Multi-parameter bidding method: development of parameters
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis presents the results of an investigation of multi-parameter bidding for application in the highway construction industry. The major objective of this research is to further develop the multi-parameter bidding ...
Rutting and drainage design methodology for a concrete block pavement
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Concrete block pavements (CBP) have historically been hics. used in low trafficked applications as an alternative to asphalt and concrete pavement because of their aesthetic quality. However, concrete block pavements have ...
A systematic determination of legends for destination and distance signs in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Destination and Distance signs are guide signs which are commonly used along rural highways in Texas to display the names of the destinations to be found along a highway, the direction to travel, and the distance in miles ...
Enhanced solubility of petroleum hydrocarbons using biosurfactants
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This research investigation included two similarly-designed experiments. In the first, a biological surfactant produced by Rhodococcus strain H13-A and a commonly-used synthetic surfactant, Tween-80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan ...
Dealing with parameter uncertainty in the calculation of water surface profiles
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Hydrologic and hydraulic variables common to many graphics. water resources engineering problems are known to contain considerable uncertainty. The description of the underlying uncertainty of these parameters is extremely ...
Nutrient dynamics in marsh sediments contaminated by an oil spill following a flood
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This research involves a study of the natural recovery of a brackish marsh impacted by an oil spill and fire in which the area was naturally enhanced with elevated nutrient levels. Flood waters during October, 1994, ...
