Abstract: Analytical studies have shown repeatedly that soil stiffness plays a dominant role in influencing the structural behavior of buried culverts in loading environments; however, the relative effect of the soil-model formulation ...

Abstract: The primary focus of this paper is convective heat transfer in axial flow turbines. Research activity involving heat transfer generally separates into two related areas: predictions and measurements. ...

Abstract: Project management oversight (PMO) is a concept employed by federal agencies and some private owners to monitor the effective implementation of their projects. The PMO consultant (PMOC) must perform several roles, including ...

Abstract: eanalyses have increasingly improved resolution and physical representation of regional climate and so may provide useful data in many regional applications. These data are not observations, however, and their limitations ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method to analyze and evaluate buried culverts and cut-and-cover tunnels for seismic loading in addition to standard static loading from dead and live loads. Using CANDE-2007, a plane-strain finite-element ...

Abstract: A time‐dependent plasticity model for rocks and soils based on Perzyna's elastic/viscoplastic theory is presented, wherein the plasticity yield function is patterned after the inviscid cap model developed over the last ...

Abstract: Stream tracer studies provide information supporting diverse applications in environmental research and management. Average stream velocity through a reach is often estimated from tracer temporal profiles. This Technical ...
