Vapor Hydration and Subsequent Leaching of Transuranic-Containing SRL and WV Glasses
High-level nuclear waste glass that is subject to disposal in the proposed unsaturated environment at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, initially will be altered through contact with humid air....
CSO Induced Circulation in Marine Tributaries
Pulses of freshwater flow to estuarine tributaries from combined sewer overflows (CSO) create short duration intense salinity stratification in the tributaries. An accurate assessment...
Recent Progress on Hydrodynamic Modeling of San Francisco Bay, California
A hydrodynamic modeling study of the effects of freshwater inflow on circulation and mixing in San Francisco Bay has been underway since 1985. This paper describes the multidimensional...
Validation of Hydrophysical Components of a One-Dimensional Lake Model
A dynamic one-dimensional lake model has been developed in alternative structures, MINLAKE and FRMPND, for water-quality control strategies and lake eutrophication studies. Hydrophysical...
Experimental Investigation of Density-Driven Hyperconcentrated Flows
Lock-exchange type of laboratory experiments have been conducted in order to evaluate the dynamical characteristics of density-driven hyperconcentrated fluid mud. Fluid mud, confined in...
In-Stream Thermal-Regime Analysis for Powerplant Coolant Dispersion
A steam-tube dispersion model has been adapted to real-time simulation of heat dispersion in a 7-mile reach of the Des Plaines River below Joliet Power Station. Direct feedback control...
CORMIX2: Expert System for Multiport Diffuser Discharges
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a series of software systems for the analysis, prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into watercourses,...
Water Sensitivity of Asphalt Paving Mixtures
There are two mechanisms by which moisture can degrade the integrity of an asphalt concrete matrix: (a) loss of cohesive strength and stiffness in the asphalt film and (b) the failure...
High Early Strength Concrete Containing Large Quantities of Fly Ash
This paper presents results of research performed at a precast/prestressed concrete plant to identify optimum mix proportions for production of high early strength concrete with high fly...
Thermomechanical Damage Due to Hydration in Large Concrete Dams
This paper presents the bases of a thermomechanical model able to describe the main evolution of concrete properties with aging. The model is based on the 'maturity'...
Chloride Diffusion Constant for Concretes
Reinforced concrete exposed to chloride ions rapidly deteriorates once the chloride concentration level exceeds the corrosion threshold limit. The diffusion of the chloride ion through...
Lessons Learned in Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Accelerated Strength Tests for Quality Control of Concrete Pavements
This paper describes the results of an accelerated strength testing program performed to evaluate flexural strength potential at 28- and 90-days. Based upon a literature review of previous...
Fracturing of Rock Using Expansive Soundless Chemical Demolition Agents
The theoretical principles of the action of expansive soundless chemical demolition agents are presented. The procedure for using these demolition agents are briefly outlined. Differences...
Status of the Spiny Lobster (Crustacea: Palinuridae) Stocks Off Northeast Brazil in Relation to Fishing Effort and Environmental Conditions
Conditions for the development of relatively abundant populations of spiny lobsters of genus Panulirus, mainly P. argus and P. laevicauda, off Northeast Brazil are consistent with hydrologically...
Pre-Treatment Process Control of a Variable Quality Raw Water Supply
The West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority is the public agency charged with the development of public water supply for the Tampa Bay Area in the state of Florida. The Authority's...
Wave?Current Interaction and Sediment Transport
The paper reports on a study into whether a close relationship between the mixing (diffusion) coefficient for the sediment, ?s, and the mixing (diffusion)...
CORMIX1: Expert System for Mixing Zone Analysis of Pollutant Discharges Into the Water Environment
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is an integrated software package for the analysis, prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into watercourses....
The Turbulent Wake of a Recirculating Eddy in Shallow Waters
The wake, created by injecting dye into the recirculating zone of a sudden lateral expansion in a shallow open channel, is examined experimentally for a range of bed-friction influence....
Self-Aerating Spillway Flow
The concept upon which most past analyses are based is that a continuum exists in aerated flow from 100 percent water, to air bubbles in water, to a water-air mixture, to an air-water...
Far-Field Numerical Model Studies for Boston's New Secondary Treatment Plant Outfall Siting
By the late 1900s, Boston is scheduled to have built a new secondary treatment plant that combines the waste streams from two existing plant, and discharges the resulting liquid effluent...
