Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a phenomenon that occurs when pyrite that is present in abandoned coal mines comes in contact with oxygen and water, forming acidic water rich in dissolved metals. Grout injection into mines is a popular… Author: Bulusu, Sowmya
This dissertation is an endeavor in the field of energy modeling for the North American natural gas market using a mixed complementarity formulation combined with the stochastic programming. The genesis of the stochastic equilibrium model presented in this dissertation is the deterministic
The rapid degradation of conventional material piling is one of the major problems in the bridge and civil infrastructure industry. Conventional construction materials have major disadvantages that increase their maintenance cost and reduce their service life especially in aggressive environments. The use
The ongoing efforts to apply advanced technologies to help solve transportation problems advanced the growing trend of integrating mobile wireless communications into transportation systems. In particular, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) allow vehicles to constitute a decentralized traffic information system on roadways
The purpose of this study is to design a real-time robust arterial signal control system that gives priority to buses while simultaneously maximizing progression bandwidths and optimizing signal timing plans at each intersection along the arterial… Contents LIST OF TABLES LIST OF
Plastic tearing occurs in compact tension (C(T)) specimens fabricated from ductile steels. This tearing, however, is not an elastic fracture problem governed by a crack tip singularity parameter. The current application of the J-integral and the J-R curve to plastic fracture mechanics…
This dissertation examines an innovative strategic operation for next day air package delivery. The proposed system, in which some packages are sorted twice at two distinct hubs before arriving at their destinations, is investigated for its potential savings. A two-stage sorting operation
Recent years have seen an upsurge in terrorist activity. Many studies have shown that the United States’ transportation infrastructure is vulnerable to attack. This is especially true for bridges. While the probability of an attack’s occurrence is very low, the structural response
The package delivery industry plays a dominant role in our economy by providing consistent and reliable delivery of a wide range of goods. Shipment Service Providers (SSP) offer a wide range of service levels characterized by varying time windows and modes of
Both Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and image analysis systems are useful tools that today are in use in mining industry. The data interpretation for both systems has been proposed by different studies, but often requiring site specific calibration. Sometimes the interpretation methods
