Abstract: This paper describes a mechanistic model developed to understand the self-healing mechanism of two types of cracks in impervious cores of earth dams; Type A core cracks which extend from the interior of the core to the ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental methods developed to understand the self-healing or progressive erosion of core cracks in earth dams. Concentrated leaks through two types of core cracks are simulated experimentally ...

Abstract: Fertilized highway slopes constitute nonpoint sources of nitrogenous nutrients that are degrading the surface water and groundwater resources. This paper presents the results of simulated rainfall experiments conducted on ...

Abstract: Pervious concrete pavements in low-traffic urban areas such as parking lots reduce storm water runoff and also minimize water pollution. However, there are concerns about their expected clogging and consequential reduction ...
