One of the most important factors that influences a stream's hydraulic and ecological health is the streambed's sediment size distribution. This distribution affects streambed stability, sediment transport rates, and flood ...

The conveyance of payloads by construction cranes generates pendulations of the payload. This research provides a critical design parameter for the development of a device that aids in reduction of these pendulations. ...

The focus of highway work is shifting from new construction further into maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of existing facilities. Work zones constitute sections of highway where these efforts are actively ...

This research involves the development of an aircraft fuel consumption model to simplify Bela Collins of the MITRE Corporation aircraft fuelburn model in terms of level of computation and level of capability. MATLAB and ...

Three epoxy-coated reinforcing steel (ECR) types removed from job sites, one shipped directly from the coater's plant, three commercial corrosion inhibitors, and one ECR plus a corrosion inhibitor were evaluated as reinforcing ...

In recent years the idea of using partially restrained connections in building structures has become more practical and economical. Partially restrained connections resist moment and also allow rotation, therefore distributing ...

Increasing interest in the role of wetlands in pollutant removal, flood plain management, and sedimentation in recent years has prompted research into hydraulic processes inherent to these systems. The research described ...

Traffic congestion has been cited as the most conspicuous problem in traffic management. It has far-reaching economic,social and political effects. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research and development programs ...

With a growing concern for the environment and increasing urbanization of rural areas, understanding the characteristics of urban non-point source pollution has become a focus for water quality investigators. Once thought ...
