Constructability analysis of bridge pier foundations in waterways
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Constructibility has been defined as "the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, engineering, procurement, and field operations to achieve overall project objectives.'' ("Constructability: a ...
Texas driver comprehension of abbreviations for changeable message signs
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The research conducted for this thesis was done as part of an ongoing research project by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the evaluation of changeable message ...
Evaluation of teenage driver understanding of traffic control devices
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This research documents the evaluation of teenage graphics. drivers with regards to their understanding of 53 traffic control devices. A multiple choice survey was developed and administered to a group of teenage drivers ...
Naturalized flow distribution component of a water availability modeling system
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Under Senate Bill 1, Article VII of the 751 Texas Legislature the State of Texas will develop a Water Availability Modeling (WAM) system to support water rights, regulatory functions and water management in this state. The ...
Activity-based costing simulation as a tool for construction process optimization
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this research was to develop and illustrate a procedure to achieve time- cost optimization for a construction operation by finding the adequate crew configurations. The time-cost relationship in a construction ...
Influence of chromium on the biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], frequently encountered due to metal plating operations, is normally considered toxic to microorganisms. RDX and HMX are the most widely used explosives since World War II and now contaminate ...
Loop shaping of structural dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Dynamic response of a stature can be characterized by mass, stiffness, and damping. Design of a conventional structure is primarily based on stiffness characteristics because damping is assumed to be negligible. Although ...
Application of graphical method in analyzing falling weight deflectometer (FWD) data
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Deflection measurements have long been used to evaluate the structural capacity of in-situ flexible pavements. The structural evaluation of flexible pavements is recently carried out mostly with the Falling Weight Deflectometer ...
Removal of RDX and HMX from an artificial groundwater by granular activated carbon
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption was efficient at removing high explosive contaminants such as Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-tririne (RDX) and Octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetrritro-1,3,5,7-tetruocine (HMX) from an artificial ...
Development of a research methodology to study lumber waste due to design causes in residential construction
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Residential Construction faces problems regarding inefficiencies of material usage. Builders pay twice for the lumber that is wasted. Once when it is purchased and once when it is disposed. Part of the lumber waste is ...
