Abstract: A method has been developed to predict the load-displacement relationship for single piles subjected to lateral load, embedded in sands, considering soil nonlinearity using subgrade reaction. This is the first systematic ...

Abstract: With the increasing demand for electricity on one hand and the depleting resources of natural gas and oil on the other, the coal industry has been working hard for satiating the demand. The use of the fossil fuel to produce ...

Abstract: Pulverized coal combustion (PCC) dry bottom ash is a by-product of coal combustion that originates from the burning of pulverized coal to produce electricity. Because of the increasing costs associated with the disposal ...

Abstract: Within the last decade several studies have been conducted to evaluate the geotechnical properties of bottom ash obtained from electric utilities burning pulverized coal amended with admixtures such as clay, bentonite, ...

Abstract: Increasing water shortages and the effects of global climate change require us to adopt sustainable methods to protect our natural water sources. Of all the techniques that are used to conserve water, stormwater harvesting ...

Abstract: Today’s competitive global market and changing work environment demand that engineers possess “soft skills” in addition to technical skills, and they must be able to understand project goals and have the ability to accomplish ...

Abstract: In many engineering applications, the heating condition changes in a millisecond or less, thus to study such conditions, the coaxial thermocouples (CTs) are used because they have fast responding capability. The present ...
