The Contaminant Model for Streams (CMS) was developed for use in studies where both data and resources for model application are limited. CMS can be quickly and easily applied, yet it is still versatile enough to be used ...

Chip and scrub seal treatments are common pavement preservation practices that use asphalt emulsions. Their performance has been studied for several years, yet many questions remain. The primary thesis objective was to ...

This research was conducted to characterize the flexural and tensile characteristics of thin, very high-strength, discontinuously reinforced concrete panels developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development ...

When evaluating the performance of horizontal rotor mechanical surface aeration equipment in accordance with the ASCE Standard for Measurement of Oxygen Transfer in Clean Water, several factors should be considered with ...

The research addresses the effect of diagonal and horizontal stiffeners on shear transfer in rigid frame square knees. Rigid frame square knees are an integral component of pre-manufactured metal building systems. This ...

This thesis is focused on determining the durability characteristics of asphalt mixtures containing bio-based additives for the purpose of more effective use of recycled materials. Fifty mixtures were evaluated by Cantabro ...

This research provides the evaluation of the technical measurements of pavement marking materials from a two-year data collection on 2002 National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP)?s Mississippi Test Deck ...

Open-graded friction course (OGFC) is a porous mix primarily used to improve pavement safety. OGFC is characterized by air voids ranging from 15 to 20 percent which allows surface water to drain through its structure and ...

One of the benefits of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cements is that these materials gain strength rapidly, where strength development is often measured in hours instead of days. This property makes these materials desirable ...

The job-related fatality rate in the construction industry is high as a result of multiple factors associated with the safety of workers. However, mental fatigue, a prominent factor affecting one’s hazard perception, from ...
