Abstract: Terzaghi's intergranular stress, or effective stress, can be formulated through application of averaging theory to the primitive momentum balance equations. Careful examination of the resulting development reveals the ...

Abstract: As the use of pervious concrete pavements increases, evaporation of storm water retained in the pervious concrete system becomes an important design parameter. This paper extends the knowledge of experimentally determined ...

Abstract: Many groundwater remediation designs for contaminant plume containment are developed using mathematically based groundwater flow models. These mathematical models are most effective as predictive tools when the parameters ...

Abstract: A nested optimization problem that utilizes a multiscenario approach based upon a method known as robust optimization is employed to determine a groundwater remediation design that considers the uncertainty in the hydraulic ...
