Abstract: The use of resistivity imaging (RI) in subsurface investigation has increased in recent years. RI is a non-destructive method and provides a continuous image of the subsurface. However, only qualitative evaluation of the ...

Abstract: Corrosion of underground pipelines is an important issue in the American pipeline industry. In 2002, the estimated annual cost was approximately US$7 billion for the monitoring, replacement, and maintenance of pipelines. ...

Abstract: Shallow slope failures are common in highway embankments in the north Texas region and pose significant maintenance problems for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). As a cost-effective alternative, recycled ...

Abstract: The use of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls has gained popularity as an alternative to conventional cast-in-place concrete walls. The construction of MSE walls is cost effective, requires less site ...

Abstract: Many of the older bridges in the United States have no original contract documents available, and about 26,000 bridges that are rated as scour critical have unknown foundation conditions. Thus, no information is available ...

Abstract: Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls offer simple construction techniques, pleasing aesthetics, and cost-effective solutions as an alternative to conventional gravity walls. However, design and construction should be ...

Abstract: This paper presents a technique to quantify water savings due to implementation of water restrictions by adopting water restriction indexes as a continuous numerical predictor variable in regression analysis. The adopted ...

Abstract: Hurricanes are a way of life in South Florida, where owning a home without windstorm insurance is almost an impossibility. Insurance premiums for windstorm loses are computed through the use of complex mathematical models ...
