A one-day workshop was convened to address obstacles to success of American women
faculty in Geotechnical Engineering. The workshop, sponsored by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), was held in October 2003, in ...
Laboratory testing for foundation design offers advantages over field-testing, especially, where existing installations preclude easy accessibility. Advantages include a homogeneous soil, ability to place instrumentation ...
A three-tiered, enterprise, GIS architecture offers a robust, efficient, and secure platform to potentially revolutionize disaster management by enabling support of all of the phases of governmental activity that must occur ...
Frequency granularity in a digital phase-locked loop arises from quantization in the number-controlled oscillator which prevents
the loop from locking exactly onto its reference signal and introduces unwanted phase jitter. ...
This research develops a weighted integer goal-programming model for prioritising railway projects for investment. The goal of the model is to prioritise the identified projects for investment while maximising the objectives ...
The objective of the current paper is to examine how group learning and cooperative learning are used in civil engineering courses. The paper defines group learning and cooperative learning in the first section. It is ...
The corrosion of European concrete highway structures leads to traffic disruption, significant expenditure on remedial works and ultimately threatens to impact on European competitiveness. A potentially more efficient ...
The reliability of the structural performance of any given structure is affected by both in-service loading and material deterioration due to environmental attack. They must be evaluated at any given time in order to compute ...
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used
to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has
recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community. ...
