Title: Mechanical and Physical Characterization of Recycled PET Bales for Use as Lightweight Fill Material
Author: Garbini, Jacob
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: Waste generation rates are increasing so there is a need to determine alternative methods of dealing with waste to accommodate a sustainable future. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic represents a large portion of the domestic waste generate...

Title: ON THE USE OF SMOOTHED PARTICLE HYDRODYNAMICS TO MODEL ORTHOGONAL MACHINING
Author: Avachat, Chinmay
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: Modeling machining processes with conventional finite element methods (FEM) is challenging due to the severe deformations that occur during machining, complex frictional conditions that exist between the cutting tool and the workpiece, and the pos...

Title: Performance of Portland cement concrete containing chemically beneficiated high loss on ignition fly ashes with air entrainment
Author: Ojo, Taye
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: The use of fly ash as a partial replacement of Portland cement in concrete production has been widely accepted and has been proven to be a successful practice that enables production of economical durable concrete. However, following the Clean Air...

Title: RAPID AND DYNAMIC LOAD TESTING OF INSTRUMENTED PZ27 STEEL SHEET PILES
Author: Rice, Corey
Date Created: 2020
