Abstract: Municipal governments are becoming involved in hazardous‐waste issues that have in the past been addressed primarily at the state and national level. Often, the expertise and protocols have not yet fully developed at this ...

Abstract: Traditionally, most guidelines for sampling contaminated ground water recommend purging wells prior to sampling. Recently, however, many environmental professionals are questioning the need for, and/or the desirability of, ...

Abstract: A statistical model is proposed to estimate the cyclic shear strength of a saturated sand deposit. Large‐scale shaking table test results are used to develop the basic model since they reproduce the in situ test conditions ...

Abstract: A new procedure is proposed to evaluate in situ relative density using SPT values, and to quantify the uncertainty associated with that prediction. The relationship is first developed under laboratory conditions, then ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method of improving the cooling of the hub region of high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor by making better use of the unsteady coolant flows originating from the upstream ...

Abstract: The hydraulic properties of compacted clay liners can be adversely affected by desiccation cracking. Previous studies evaluated the use of soil additives (such as lime, cement, and sand) for crack reduction. Initial results ...

Abstract: This paper presents a descriptive analysis of the historical evolution of personal travel behavior in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) over the past 35 years. The analysis indicates that in many respects the GTA taken as a ...

Abstract: Microsimulation modeling is an emerging approach to activity-based travel forecasting. Household automobile-ownership models are being included in microsimulation travel-demand models more. Implicitly, vehicle price is an ...
