Abstract: Moiré fringe equations are developed for directly determining the components of Green’s and Conchy’s deformation tensors from fringe pitch and angle measurements. The equations are derived using ...

Abstract: The use of layered geotextile filters for biological treatment of septic tank effluent prior to ground infiltration was investigated. The goal was to provide secondary treatment and prevent soil clogging by fostering biomass ...

Abstract: Live-bed tests on steep bed slopes are run in a laboratory flume to investigate the slope of equilibrium. The tests simulate a general degradation until a new equilibrium is reached. Subsequently, different bed sill settings ...

Abstract: Professional practice within civil and environmental engineering demands that practitioners within the field have knowledge of sustainability. Engineering education has attempted to reflect this standard, as noted in ...

Abstract: A bench-scale study used nonwoven geotextiles as a compact biomass host media to treat wastewater from a combined sewer system. The geotextile coupons were used as baffles and suspended in an aerated reactor. Each baffle ...

Abstract: A quasi-linear elastic constitutive model is proposed to describe the behavior of sand well below failure. It is based on isotropic compression tests and captures the increase in stiffness due to confinement—a unique ...
