Abstract: Bridge deck systems consisting of a series of full depth precast concrete slab panel modules laid on steel stringers have been used for construction of new bridges as well as for rehabilitation of deteriorated bridge decks ...

Abstract: To counter the scarcity of available construction sites, infrastructure industry considers closely spaced footings as one of the viable options. The present study investigated the load–settlement behavior of two closely ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations were carried out to study the evaporation of a drop that is released into a parallel stream of fluid at a higher temperature. A coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) interface capturing method ...

Abstract: Several well-known low-Reynolds-number versions of the k–ε models are analyzed critically for laminar to turbulent transitional flows as well as near-wall turbulent flows from a theoretical and ...

Abstract: Porous reactive barriers containing metallic iron and hydrogenotrophic denitrifying microorganisms may potentially be suitable for in-situ remediation of nitrate-contaminated groundwater resources. The main objective of ...

Abstract: Agriculture accounts for nearly two‐thirds of the gross domestic product of Nepal, one of the least developed countries of the world. Thus, irrigation is important to sustaining the country's economy. While irrigation has ...

Abstract: Monitoring and evaluation of irrigation projects has been a neglected subject, but must play a more important role in the future if the irrigation management process is to be improved. The process is complex, since a large ...

Abstract: This study includes the determination of soil-pile separation lengths and frequency-amplitude responses of single and group piles under rotating machine-induced coupled (horizontal and rocking) vibrations by experimental ...

Abstract: The separation of variables (SOV) can be used for all Fourier, single-phase lag (SPL), and dual-phase lag (DPL) heat conduction problems with time-independent source and/or boundary conditions (BCs). The Laplace transform ...
