Abstract: Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) is increasingly making its way into the construction field. Characterization of UHPC has therefore received much-needed attention in the research arena. One effective application of ...

Abstract: Research on the impact of sluice regulation on water quantity and quality (WQQ) processes in regulated rivers is a fundamental requirement in basin management at present but remains a research puzzle at the basin scale ...

Abstract: Moveable bridges in Florida typically use open steel grid decks due to weight limitations. However, these decks present rideability, environmental, and maintenance problems, as they are typically less skid resistant than ...

Abstract: In this paper, a revised advection-aridity evaporation model is presented to estimate actual evaporation over short time periods. The revised model is applied and validated against an existing data set. The time series ...

Abstract: Most of the movable bridges in the United States have open grid steel decks, primarily because they are factory assembled, lightweight, and easy to install. Open grid steel decks, however, are not as skid resistant as solid ...

Abstract: River ecosystem health assessments are a hot topic in global water resources management. The Huai River Basin is a representative basin faced with serious environmental problems due to high water pollution and numerous ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the existence of the Kuznets curve in industrial water use. The result shows that industrial water use in most countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the long-term mechanical properties (up to 1 year) of alkali-activated slag concrete produced with recycled coarse aggregate (AAS-RA) and natural coarse aggregate (AAS-NA). The AAS-RA achieved a ...
