Abstract: Scrapers have established an important position in the earthmoving field as they are independently capable of accomplishing an earthmoving operation. Given that loading a scraper to its capacity does not entail its maximum ...

Abstract: Traditional finite-difference and finite-element solutions to Richards' equation can exhibit stability problems and mass balance errors when sharp saturation fronts migrate across material interfaces. Several semianalytical ...

Abstract: Curves represent the most interesting element to be analyzed when evaluating the operational and safety effects of road geometrics. Despite the existence of several static and dynamic survey techniques, the correct ...

Abstract: Recycling of spent filter backwash water is a widely practiced residual management approach throughout the United States for drinking water utilities. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), under the ...

Abstract: Recent interpretations of wetting-induced compaction revealed that water sensitivity can cause a loss of controllability in samples subjected to fluid injection. This paper elaborates these findings by focusing on fabric ...

Abstract: Emissions reduction has emerged as one of the principal targets in the planning and designing of road alignment today, and intelligent design methods can help optimize road alignment as a response toward more sustainable ...
