Performance-based design of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to seismic forces
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
An approach for evaluating reinforced concrete crographics. structural frame systems subjected to seismic forces under the framework of performance-based design methodology was developed. The method integrates the design ...
Boom Drainage: revisited
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Containment boom is the most common type of containment device used to prevent oil from spreading on water in the event of an oil spill. Booms are successful in collecting oil on water for recovery but their performance ...
Comparison of operating speeds at spiral transition and circular curves
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Although the design policies of many countries encourage the use of spiral transition curves, questions still exist as to whether spiral transition curves have any benefit in roadway design. The findings of previous research ...
Toxicity of oiled wetland sediments influenced by natural and enhanced bioremediation
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A multi-phase bioremediation project was initiated raphics. following the rupture of several oil and gas pipelines during extensive flooding of the San Jacinto River near Houston, Texas, in October of 1994. A small cove ...

An investigation to determine appropriate abbreviations for variable message signs
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
New Jersey transportation agencies currently display messages with abbreviations because of limited line capacities on variable message signs (VMSs). Abbreviations, however, are generally less understood than words and ...
Irregular wave runup and overtopping of revetments in the presence of wind
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The maximum vertical distance a wave may travel up a phics. coastal structure, known as the wave sunup height, is an important factor in determining the crest elevation of a revetment. When the wave sunup height exceeds ...
An investigation of factors that significantly affect pavement maintenance costs in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
In the past twenty years, the focus of the highways industry has shifted from the construction of new highways to the maintenance of those which already exist. At the same time, the maintenance budgets of highway agencies ...
A study of the effect of adding viscoelastic dampers between adjacent buildings to reduce pounding
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The addition of damper and beam elements between ographics. adjacent buildings is studied to determine if such connections help reduce the damage caused by structural pounding between these buildings. Each building is ...
The use of sulfer modified bottom ash (SMBA) as an aggregate in asphaltic mixtures
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Of the 20 million tons of bottom ash and boiler slag generated annually in the United States less than 40 percent is used. The eastern half of Texas is served by 18 coal burning electric power generating plants which produce ...
