Natural streamflow cycles and effects on water supply reliability
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, its partner agencies, and contractors are conducting a statewide Water Availability Modeling (WAM) Project pursuant to Senate Bill 1 enacted by the Texas Legislature in ...
Microbial dynamics during intrinsic remediation of oil contaminated coastal wetland sediments (a microcosm study)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Arabian medium crude oil was applied to historically exposed estuarine sediments contained in a controlled laboratory environment and intrinsically remediated for 56 days. In situ microbial and petroleum dynamics were ...
Prediction methods for capacity of drag anchors in clayey soils
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A drag anchor is a marine foundation element, which is penetrated into the seabed by dragging in order to generate a required capacity. The holding capacity of a drag anchor in a particular soil condition is developed by ...
Thermal and environmental effects on fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcing bars and reinforced concrete elements
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in bridge decks results in high repair costs, unwanted traffic disruption, and unsafe structures. To help alleviate this problem, non-metallic fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are being ...
A program to design asphalt concrete overlays to mitigate reflection cracking
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
One of the major concerns for pavement engineers is that many pavements considered structurally sound after being overlaid exhibit a cracking pattern similar to the existing pavement. The new overlay cracks because of its ...
The influence of high quantity of fly ash on reducing the expansion due to ASR in the presence of alkalis
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A testing program was devised to study the role of high volume fly ash (HVFA) in reducing the expansion caused by alkali-silica reaction (ASR). A series of modified ASTM C 1260 tests were performed, where the replacement ...
Assessment of older driver understanding of certain traffic control devices in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The purpose of this research was to assess older Texas drivers on their understanding of nine traffic control devices and identify the devices that are misunderstood by people 65 years and older. Additionally, older ...
Reliability as a measure of transportation system performance
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This investigation involved a comparative analysis to assess the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of seven previously proposed methods of measuring travel time reliability. For each method, reliability was ...
Neuro-fuzzy control of an MDOF building with a magnetorheological damper using acceleration feedback
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Parameter specification of a fuzzy inference system (HS) with the aid of artificial neural networks allows the creation of complex, multi-dimensional models that are computationally efficient and numerically robust. An ...
Dechlorination of PCE by mixtures of green rust and zero-valent iron
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Chlorinated compounds are toxic environmental contaminants that have been used for industrial and agricultural purposes. Research has been conducted on abiotic dechlorination of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) by sulfate green ...
