Asphalt Parking Lot Runoff Nutrient Characterization for Eight Sites in North Carolina, USA
The objectives of this study were to characterize asphalt parking lot runoff quality and determine factors influencing nutrient concentrations and loads. Event mean concentrations (EMCs)...
Assessing Long-Term Pollutant Concentration Trends in Urban Runoff for TMDL Planning and Regulatory Assessment
Loads of some pollutants in many urban watersheds include a substantial component originating with non-point sources and stormwater runoff. TMDL planning includes estimating those loads,...
Securing the Stone
To prevent spalling at edges on thin stone veneer, engineers who design stone cladding pay special attention to the connection details. Kerf clips, 100-150 mm long, that distribute load...
Design of Low Rise Dome for the University of Hawaii at Manoa
The 97.5m span dome covering the new multipurpose sports arena at the University of Hawaii in Manoa is a spherical, triangulated dome structure with a rise of 16.2m. In addition to the...
Study on Reinforced Concrete Cylindrical Shells with Edge Members under Impact Loading
The strength, cracking patterns and the other nonlinear dynamic behaviors of reinforced concrete roof-type circular cylindrical shells influenced by edge member stiffness and supporting...
Foundation Uniform Pressure and Soil Structure Interaction
The enclosed paper was presented in the ASCE, 8th Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering and published in its proceedings. One of its main assumptions was considering the foundation...
Behavior of Plates Under Partial Edge Loading
This paper addresses one of the common problems in designing thin-walled members, the ability of the shape to accommodate in-plane concentrated loads. Specific areas in which the problem...
Lateral Force Distribution in Manufactured Housing from Full-Scale Testing
The research focused on the behavior of two manufactured 14 ? 66 ft houses under simulated wind loads. Extensive instrumentation was employed to insure the collection of data that would...
Impact of Dynamic Loading on Bio-Phosphorus Removal
The ability of bench-scale activated sludge biological phosphorus removal systems to produce effluents with consistently low phosphorus concentrations was influenced by influent TOC/COD...
Buckling of Flexibly-Joined Simple Frames
A nonlinear analysis of plane elastic frames is presented. The static loading consists of both eccentric concentrated loads (near the joints) and uniformly distributed loads on all or...
Beam Analogy for Vertical Curves
The vertical curve is analyzed as a moment diagram for a uniformly loaded single beam with a concentrated moment at one end. This contributes some flexibility in approach, and enhances...
