Abstract: The importance of particle rolling resistance to the mechanical behavior of granular materials is well recognized and has been a topic subject to intensive discrete element method (DEM) investigation over the last two ...

Abstract: The nonaerobic stage is critical for the processes of denitrification and phosphorus release in biological wastewater treatment. A lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) operating as nonaerobic/aerobic was used to treat ...

Abstract: The uplift failure mechanism of buried pipe and its linked soil resistance are key concerns in pipe design. Although the uplift responses of pipe buried in remolded backfill have been discussed extensively, little effort ...

Abstract: In recent years, due to their significant economic and safety advantages, agricultural wastes have become sustainable external carbon sources for nitrogen removal through denitrification. This study investigated the carbon ...

Abstract: Layered soil conditions are common in marine sediments, and deduction of strength properties for thin interbedded layers is often challenging. Full-flow penetrometers such as T-bar are increasingly being used in offshore ...
