Determining the leaching characteristics of solidified/stabilized wastes using constant pH leaching tests
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Solidification/Stabilization treatment using Portland cement is an established procedure in the management of hazardous wastes. The technology is relatively simple, cheap, and highly reliable in prohibiting the migration ...
Design and analysis of recycled content sign blanks
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This report documents a study of the feasibility of using sign blanks constructed of reclaimed materials instead of conventional high-grade plywood and aluminum. This study presents the engineering techniques necessary for ...
Assessing vehicle detection utilizing video image processing technology
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Urban freeways are the backbone of the highway transportation system and the demand on this system is growing. The increase in demand creates an increase in traffic congestion. Past construction solutions to relieve ...
Biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX)
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Not available
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 ...
Alternate stabilizers: solution towards reducing sulfate swell in expansive clay subgrades in Dallas district
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The practice of using lime as a stabilizer during construction of pavements is widespread and is considered economical. However under certain conditions, the beneficial effects of lime stabilization is overridden. Proximity ...
Maximizing throughput by providing unidirectional and broken coordination on oversaturated arterials at actuated signal controlled intersections
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The major problems associated with the operation of oversaturated arterials are unpredictable growth of queues, and inability of existing software packages like PASSER II to provide satisfactory timing plans during periods ...
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 ...
