Abstract: The Everglades is a complex, multiwetland ecosystem that is heavily managed to meet often-competing flood control, water supply, and environmental demands. Using objective measures to balance these demands through operational ...

Abstract: Manufacturing or repairing parts on-site, high geometric freedom, and feedstock efficiency have long been regarded as nascent capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Researchers aim to adopt these ...

Abstract: In this paper, passive cooling strategies have been investigated to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing cooling thermal loads and air conditioning energy consumption for residential buildings in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ...

Abstract: Advances in sensor technology have led to an increased interest in using degradation-based sensory information to predict the remaining lives of partially degraded components and systems. This ...

Abstract: In this study, cement was partially replaced with a Class-F fly ash (FA) at a level of 70% to produce high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete (F70). The F70 was modified by partially replacing the FA with an equal combination ...

Abstract: There is consensus among both the research and industrial communities, and even the general public, that additive manufacturing (AM) processes capable of processing metallic materials are a set of game changing technologies ...

Abstract: The role of grout cohesive and adhesive strengths on the mechanical properties of silicate-grouted sands was investigated. Ottawa 20-30 sand, lime aggregate, and sodium silicate grout with organic reagents were used in ...

Abstract: Factors affecting the strength, modulus, stress-strain, and time-to-failure relationships of moist-cured silicate-grouted sands were investigated from short-term and creep tests. Variables included in the short-term tests ...

Abstract: Dynamic properties such as shear modulus, damping ratio, and fatigue strength of a sodium silicate-grouted sand were investigated using both destructive and nondestructive tests. Cyclic compression behavior of grouted sand ...
