Abstract: Responsive polymers can be combined with clay particles to form adaptable, or “tunable,” clay–polymer composites. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential for “tunability” of a nanocomposite at the mesoscale ...

Abstract: Several methods have been developed to estimate critical shear stress τc and the erodibility coefficient kd for cohesive stream banks/beds. This research compares estimates of these parameters between an in situ minijet ...

Abstract: Excessive levels of phosphate in stormwater runoff can negatively impact receiving surface water bodies, such as retention ponds, and may also seep into groundwater. Liner systems composed of materials with greater phosphate ...

Abstract: Coal combustion products (CCPs) are by-products created when coal is burned for energy production. These products include predominantly fly ash, bottom ash, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products. These materials ...

Abstract: Terzaghi’s consolidation theory assumes strain in soil due to applied overburden pressure is small, and permeability and thus the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) remain constant during consolidation. Although valid for ...
