Characterization of Soft Clays and the Response of Soil Foundation Systems for Offshore Applications (2015-06-01)The overwhelming bulk of our population, about 4 billion people, are concentrated along or near a coastline (within 250 miles). It is recognized that a mix of energy sources will be required to meet mainstream energy needs ...

(2018-03-02)Wet-gas compression has become an important technology to focus on, requiring a concentrated effort to predict the behavior of compressors when exposed to wet gas conditions. The compressor’s stability is highly influenced ...
-
(1997)The purpose of this research was to determine what effects composition, temperature, rubber content, and aging time have on the low temperature properties of various asphalts. These properties, failure stress, failure ...

(2009-05-15)This thesis presents measurements of power loss and leakage in a hybrid brush seal (HBS) for increasing pressure differentials and over a range of rotor speeds. The test HBS, Haynes-25 bristle pack [~850 bristles/cm] and ...
-
(2018-07-31)The performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls under individual hazards has been well studied. However, little is known regarding the behavior of RC structural walls under sequential hazards. The research ...
