Oil spill response resources
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Pollution has become one of the main problems being faced by humanity. Preventing pollution from occurring might be the best idea but is not possible in this fast developing world. So the next best thing to do would be ...
Incident detection using the Standard Normal Deviate model and travel time information from probe vehicles
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
One application of travel time information explored in this thesis is freeway incident detection. It is vital to develop reliable methods for automatically detecting incidents to facilitate the quick response and removal ...
Residential construction on expansive soils
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Residences founded on expansive soils experience billions of dollars each year in damage caused by the heaving and shrinking of the foundation soils. It is thought that stiffening the foundation, while increasing the cost ...
Strategies for improved arterial coordination using actuated control
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Traffic actuated signals have been efficiently used in controlling isolated I intersections because they respond to random traffic fluctuations using detectors on all approaches. Application to coordinated arterial operations ...
Behavior of a full scale tieback wall in sand
(Texas A&M University, 1991)

Nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures subjected to ground motion
(Texas A&M University, 1991)

Relationships between access and operating speed on suburban arterials
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Driver behavior is affected by many roadway factors. This project investigated which geometric, roadside, and traffic control device variables have an effect on driver behavior on major suburban arterials. In particular, ...
A simulation model for generation of aquifer characteristics and contaminant concentrations
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Remediation of natural systems such as aquifers requires a thorough characterization of its physical and hydraulic properties. Variability in physical and hydraulic properties of aquifers makes design and operation of ...
The effect of bioremediation on microbial populations in an oil-contaminated coastal wetland
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A series of controlled, crude oil applications was carried out in a Texas coastal wetland near the Houston Ship Channel to determine the effectiveness of bioremediation in these sensitive areas. The first application, ...
A model for determining the fate of hazardous constituents in waste during in-vessel composting
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Composting is one of the techniques that has evolved as a safe disposal and predisposal alternative to the stringent regulations on hazardous waste disposal. The implementation of this technique needs careful evaluation ...
