Due to the rapid advancement of technology, industrial-aged systems are being replaced by information-based models through system integration, where hardware and software are combined by a variety of communication means. As engineering systems become progressively complex, the challenge is to fully understand
The exposure of parking garages to harsh weather conditions and vehicular traffic causes premature deterioration that can compromise structural integrity and pose safety hazards. In order to develop comprehensive and cost-effective strategies for evaluating the condition of their eighteen parking facilities, Montgomery
This study is a comparison of Swedish and Danish legislation on recycling of MSWI (Municipal Solid Waste Incineration) residues for construction purposes. The aim has been to look for differences and figure out whether these could be a reason for the minor
The impact-echo technique is a nondestructive test used to detect flaws in concrete. Although deterioration can be quantified through the Q-factor, little is known about its relationship to other parameters. This research study explored possible correlations between Q-factors and other parameters including
The purpose of this research is to examine how The Natural Step Framework, combined with Life Cycle Assessment and Ecological Footprint could help to manage the sustainability challenges of construction materials in China and to consider how these tools and concepts might
Demonstrating the success of in situ bioremediation is challenging, requiring multiple lines of evidence, e.g., “footprints” of microbially-mediated processes that transform contaminants, like metabolic intermediates. This project evaluated the hypothesis that characteristic threshold concentrations of acetate, a key intermediate under anaerobic conditions,
To improve traffic mobility and safety on highway segments plagued by work zone activities, transportation professionals in recent years have focused on exploring the potentials of using various merge and speed control strategies to regulate traffic flows… Contents Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1
The main goal of this dissertation has been to contribute to a better understanding of car-following behavior, and more specifically, on the variability in car-following behavior that is commonly observed in naturalistic driving situations… Contents Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Background 1.2 Limitations
Arsenic is a potentially toxic contaminant of concern even at relatively low concentrations in the environment. The complex chemistry of arsenic in the environment is influenced by a variety of chemical and physical factors… Contents CHAPTER 1. BACKGROUND, STUDY OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESIS
Privately Financed Infrastructure (PFI) projects are characterized by huge and irreversible investments and are faced with various risks. Project performance risks, such as project completion time and costs, affect the project value significantly, particularly in project development phase. This is because a
