Damage to embankments containing slurry-deposited Coal Combustion Product (CCP) can lead to static liquefaction or slope failure, resulting in the release of the contained material.
Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) have a broad technology potential as an attractive platform for surface-enhanced spectroscopies, refractive index sensing, hyperthermal cancer therapy, plasmon-enhanced catalysis, and so on.
Since 1874, the American Association for the Advancement of Science honors researchers who have made significant contributions to science by electing them as fellows each year.
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Scott McCormack is part of a multi-university team awarded $7.5 million over five years from the Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative, or MURI, program.
The purpose of this presentation is to open the door for geotechnical and civil engineers to realize that they can apply their knowledge and skill set to underground construction and tunnel design.
In this talk I will try to survey developments in automotive computer control systems during the past four decades, which incidentally and fortuitously coincided with my career in this exciting and challenging field.
Floats, such as for ferry terminals, ferry maintenance facilities, and other floating waterfront structures, often rely on long vertical piling to provide lateral support while allowing the floating structures to move up and down with changing water levels.
