RISClimatic Controls and Spatial Variations of Precipitation in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The western United States is characterized by complex seasonal precipitation regimes due to the hierarchy of climatic controls that operate at different spatial scales. A climatology of month to month changes in precipitation, ...
Rapid and Global Bridge Assessment for the Military
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prior to any military operation, a critical task of military engineers involves the ability to quickly assess the load-carrying capacity of bridges. These assessments are required to facilitate the selection of movement ...
Whole Bone Strain Quantification by Image Registration: A Validation Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quantification of bone strain can be used to better understand fracture risk, bone healing, and bone turnover. The objective of this work was to develop and validate an intensity matching image ...
Pore Water Pressure Response of Soil Subjected to Dynamic Loading under Saturated and Unsaturated Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents the results of one of the first attempts to characterize the pore water pressure response of soils subjected to dynamic loading under saturated and unsaturated conditions. The resilient modulus, which ...
Remodified Einstein Procedure for Sediment Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A procedure has been developed to calculate the total sediment transport rates from the flow and suspended sediment data collected from the sampled zone (by depth integrated sampler). This procedure is a modification of ...

Unsaturated Soil Modeling for Airfield Pavement Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents results of one of the first in situ assessment studies on the use of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-EPDG) methodology applied to the design of airfield pavements. The M-EPDG’s Enhanced ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents the results of one of the first attempts to characterize the pore water pressure response of soils subjected to dynamic loading under saturated and unsaturated conditions. The resilient modulus, which ...
Focus Group Study to Explore Critical Factors for Managing Stress of Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction workers (CWs) are directly responsible for the success of any construction project. However, the construction industry is stressful, which may significantly affect CWs’ performance and safety at work. It is ...
Snow Avalanche Climatology of the Western United States Mountain Ranges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The snow avalanche climate of the western United States has long been suspected to consist of three main climate zones that relate with different avalanche characteristics: coastal, intermountain, and continental. The ...
