Abstract: A new method for nonlinear analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams resting on heterogeneous, multilayered soil is presented. The governing differential equations for beam and soil displacements are obtained using the principle ...

Abstract: Soil disturbance caused by the installation of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) has a large impact on the rate of consolidation. It is essential in design to quantify this effect. In this paper, we investigate the ...

Abstract: Dechlorination of chlorinated water and wastewater is most often achieved by chemical reduction through the addition of sulfur-IV compounds before discharge into the aquatic receiving environment or upon entry in the ...

Abstract: Traditionally, analyses developed for circular piles have also been used for rectangular piles by replacing in calculations the rectangular pile with a circular pile of equivalent area. In this paper, we present a settlement ...

Abstract: A bench-scale biofiltration study was conducted to investigate the potential benefits of adjusting water pH and alkalinity as a simple water quality control on biofilter efficacy in terms of organic carbon removal, ammonia ...
