Abstract: Laboratory models made of sand, water, and small amounts of cement (“weak mortar”) are shown to be practical, inexpensive alternatives to standard porous media models made from sand epoxy resins, glass geads, or sand only. ...

Abstract: An approximate, closed‐form solution to the equation governing the evaporative drying of dredged material is presented. This solution includes both the constant‐rate and the falling‐rate drying periods. Different solutions ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study to investigate methods for providing low-cost protection from hazards associated with tornado strikes or other severe wind events. Included are discussions of physical wind damage, ...
