Khandelwal, Siddharth (2012-07-11)Levees are earth structures used for flood protection. Due to their easy availability and low permeability, clays are the most common material used for the construction of levees. Clays are susceptible to desiccation cracks ...
-
Cho, Yongchae (2019-01-04)Reverse-time migration (RTM) and full-waveform inversion (FWI) are widely used because they are able to recover complex geological structures. However, these wave-equation based imaging techniques also have a drawback, as ...
-
Leung, Chin (2012-10-19)The study of mechanical energy and electrical energy dissipation in cementitious materials can lead to development of high damping concrete for structural applications, and new non-destructive testing techniques for use ...
-
Price, Samuel Martin (2018-11-16)The effective elastic thickness (Te) of the lithosphere is a geometric measure of its flexural rigidity and is determined by isostatic forces, crustal composition, thermal properties, and deformation history. As such, Te ...
-
Wright, Jennifer Catherine McGuire (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Analysis of the satellite altimetry based predicted bathymetry, magnetic anomalies, and earthquake seismic data relating to the geophysical structure on the Nazca plate indicates that the Galapagos Rise system served as ...
-
Oh, Seung Jae (2011-02-22)The bridge scour depths in cohesive soil have been predicted using the scour equations developed for cohesionless soils due to scarce of studies about cohesive soil. The scour depths predicted by the conventional methods ...
-
Murphy, Blaine Cullen (2014-08-01)A tensorial (9-component) controlled source electromagnetic survey over an oblique slip fault in Mason County, Texas was acquired and the data were analyzed in order to characterize the structure of the fault and observe ...
-
Stalnaker, Jack Lee (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The solution of the secondary coupled-vector potential formulation of Maxwell??s equations governing the controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) response of an arbitrary, threedimensionalconductivitymodelmust be ...
-
Greene, John Anthony (2020-06-12)The formation and evolution of Mesozoic-age oceanic lithosphere documents the processes leading to the modern distribution of continents and ocean basins starting with the breakup of Pangaea, and plays an important role ...
-
Stanford, Charles (2014-09-17)Brenham, Texas has an interesting past that may surprise some of its residents. This past is discoverable through the use of geophysical methods. The site in question is owned by Blue Bell Creameries and is located on South ...
-
Rezaei Tafti, Somayeh (2018-02-16)This dissertation explores some of the geotechnical challenges associated with implementing high-speed railway (HSR) systems. These challenges are mostly related to HSR embankments. Three special geotechnical issues addressed ...
-
Schelstrate, Robert (2014-08-11)Sandstone facies are good reservoirs for the accumulation of hydrocarbons in conventional exploration due to high porosity and permeability. Grain size variations within a sandstone reservoir can range from pebbles to ...
-
Improvement of The Observation Method to Predict Meander Migration by Using A Probabilistic Analysis Haniffa, Mifrokhah (2019-04-03)River meander migration is a product of fluvial activities including erosion and deposition. It may cause problems if it is close to vital infrastructure and its migration rate is noticeable for design life of infrastructure. ...
-
Elliott, Marcus Scott (2023-08-07)Controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) methods are inexpensive geophysical techniques that can be combined with petrophysical and petroleum engineering methods to improve our understanding of subsurface formation ...
-
Zhang, Tingting (2014-12-12)Carbonate reservoir characterization based on rock physics and seismic inversion helps in better understanding the influence of deposition and diagenesis on rock property. In this dissertation, I first study a modern ...
-
Islam, Jinia (2015-04-13)Understanding flow leakage through different conduits (abandoned wells, fracture, faults, etc) has become an intensively investigated subject in the subsurface hydrology and petroleum engineering in recent years. This study ...
-
Geha, Chadi Daher (2015-12-10)Innovative circuit architectures and techniques to enhance the performance of several key BiCMOS RFIC building blocks applied in radar and wireless communication systems operating at the millimeter-wave frequencies are ...
-
Degenhardt, John Jerome (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Rock glaciers play a significant role in the alpine debris transport system. For practical and engineering considerations, identifying the internal structure and its relationship to surface characteristics is significant ...
-
Sutton, Peter Andrew (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Ever since Hempel and Oppenheim's development of the Deductive Nomological model of scientific explanation in 1948, a great deal of philosophical energy has been dedicated to constructing a viable model of explanation that ...
