Vortex-Induced Vibration of a slender horizontal cylinder in currents and waves
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) is a concern when dealing with slender, flexible structural members of deepwater platforms. While much is known about the characteristics of VIV in uniform and sheared current flows, very ...
Design and analysis of a recycled plastic noise barrier
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This report documents a study of the feasibility of using soundwalls constructed of recycled plastics in place of conventional building materials. Important considerations in selecting materials used in this study include: ...
Effects of aluminosilicate minerals in clay soil fractions on pore water hydroxide ion concentrations in soil/cement matrices
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Cementitious solidification/stabilization processes are often appropriate for treatment of soils contaminated with metallic constituents. However, thorough knowledge of potential impacts of soil properties on solid and ...
An assessment of the potential environmental impact of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Increases in environmental and air quality problems due to continued growth in automobile population and usage have prompted many states including Texas to consider the implementation of an alternative vehicle program to ...
A study of English and Spanish signing for Texas border towns
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The purpose of this research was to identify English-phics. legend signs which have a low comprehension level among native Spanish-speaking drivers in Texas border areas and to develop and evaluate alternative Spanish and ...
Evaluation of the existing performance models used for pavement management by the Texas Department of Transportation
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The pavement management information system (PMIS) and hics. the flexible pavement design software, FPS-19, used by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for pavement management at network and project level ...
Wave runup and reflection from coastal structures in depth-limited conditions
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
An experimental hydrodynamic study was undertaken to phics. investigate the effects of depth-limited conditions on wave sunup and reflection from coastal structures. The tests were carried out in a two-dimensional wave ...
Using reference frames and the Global Positioning System (GPS) to produce control networks for spatial data
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The Global Positioning System has enabled researchers to gather spatial data on a scale that was, until recently, cost prohibitive. Projects that cover an area of a few hectares can be included in data sets that cover ...
Multi-parameter bidding method: development of parameters
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis presents the results of an investigation of multi-parameter bidding for application in the highway construction industry. The major objective of this research is to further develop the multi-parameter bidding ...
Rutting and drainage design methodology for a concrete block pavement
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Concrete block pavements (CBP) have historically been hics. used in low trafficked applications as an alternative to asphalt and concrete pavement because of their aesthetic quality. However, concrete block pavements have ...
