Modeling Lateral Acceleration on Ramp Curves for Consistency-Based Geometric Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Previous interchange safety research has primarily focused on crash and operating speed prediction models, with no extensive evaluation related to the impact of different ramp types on lateral acceleration. The objective ... -
Effects of Bioretention Soil Mixtures on Metal Speciation and Toxicity to Aquatic Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Heavy metal concentrations in stormwater runoff are regulated and monitored because these pollutants can be toxic to aquatic communities. When evaluating stormwater toxicity to aquatic organisms, a heavy metal’s bioavailability ... -
Modeling the Resilience Performance of Houston’s Wastewater Treatment Plant under Wet Weather Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)With increasing severity of wet weather events due to a changing climate, many municipal wastewater treatment plants are grappling with challenges in maintaining effective flow and effluent management. Compounded by aging ... -
Characterizing Stormwater Basin Conditions Using Tracked BMP Inspection and Rating Reports from the Virginia Department of Transportation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Studies have rarely used stormwater best management practice (BMP) condition rating data to quantify changes in condition ratings and characterize condition issues, making it challenging to implement proactive maintenance ... -
Disposition of Uranium and Other Heavy Metals in the Groundwater in the Baran District of Rajasthan, India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)People are vulnerable to chemical and radiological risks when consuming water tainted with heavy metals. Because many people living in the Baran district of Rajasthan, India, rely on groundwater for drinking, they are more ... -
Thermodynamic Model for Sand-Incorporating Morphology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Particle shape, size, and size distribution (gradation) significantly influence the mechanical response of granular soils. This research introduces a thermodynamic model based on granular thermodynamics theory, validated ... -
Occurrence and Concentration of 6 Metals and 28 Organic Micropollutants in the Forebays of Bioretention Facilities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Pollutant loads in urban runoff from anthropogenic sources contribute to degradation of downstream waters. Cities are turning toward green infrastructure to manage urban stormwater. Bioretention is popular as green ... -
Phosphorus Recovery from Synthetic Stormwater Using Iron- and Slag-Amended Green Infrastructure Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The demand for phosphorus (P), fueled by the need for fertilizers to increase food production due to the ever-increasing population, is increasing P in the environment and diminishing global reserves of this nonrenewable ... -
LiDAR and Multispectral Sensing for Monitoring SMPs: A Review of Current Applications and Future Opportunities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and multispectral images are rapidly emerging technologies that hold a great deal of promise for the field of civil engineering, particularly stormwater management. Stormwater management ... -
Maintaining Green Stormwater Infrastructure in Urban and Rural Vermont: Municipal Maintenance Capacity, Aesthetics, and Connections to Stormwater Policy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Tasked with the implementation of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) to address water quantity and quality issues, municipalities face challenges regarding the function of stormwater projects and perceptions surrounding ... -
Characterization of Nitrogen Discharge from Extensive Sedum Green Roofs with Multiple Amending Designs and Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Green roofs are effective stormwater control measures for mitigating urban hydrology; however, their potential to manage nutrient discharges has not been consistently documented. Thirty-two pilot scale newly constructed ... -
High-Precision Diameter Detector for Nuclear Power Main Water Supply System Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In this paper, a high-precision technique for detecting the inner diameter of pipes in the two-loop main feedwater system of pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants is proposed, which realizes the accurate ... -
Comparison between a Two-Wavelength Absolute Distance Meter and a GNSS-Based Distance Meter at CERN Geodetic Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Absolute distance determination, which is the determination of distances consistent with the International System of Units (SI) definition of meter, is a current challenge for distances of several kilometers in the open ... -
Hybrid Simulation Tests of Real-Scale Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall Specimens
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Squat reinforced concrete shear walls usually have diagonal shear– or sliding shear–controlled behavior. Due to the lack of experimental data, there is uncertainty on how squat wall design parameters define their behavior ... -
Cyclic Tests Performed on Real-Scale Squat Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls: Transition between Diagonal Shear and Sliding Shear Controlled Behavior Modes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Squat reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used as primary gravity and lateral load–resisting systems in structures. Such low aspect ratio walls respond to load in diagonal or sliding shear. A series of real-scale ... -
Influence of Doors on the In-Plane Seismic Behavior of Partition Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Doors and other openings inevitably change the internal force distribution in cold-formed steel-framed gypsum partition walls (hereafter referred to as partition walls) subjected to lateral loading, which affects their ... -
Failure of Ring Foundations on Soft Clay Reinforced with an Annular Stone Column
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The pressure–settlement response of ring foundations placed on soft clay and reinforced with an annular stone column was determined both experimentally and numerically. The mean diameters of the ring footing and the stone ... -
Fire Testing and Modeling of a Novel Hybrid Timber Floor System
