Title: ALPINE AND SUBALPINE LANDSCAPE RESPONSE TO POST-GLACIAL CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS: A COMPARISON OF NEW LANDSCAPE AND CLIMATE RECORDS
Author: Johnson, Bradley
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Geomorphology, Paleoclimatology
Description: Post-glacial interactions between climate, landscapes, and soils remain poorly understood, especially in alpine and sub-alpine areas. Here, I aim to increase understanding of the dynamic interactions between climate, landscape evolution, and soil ...

Title: Engineering characterization of waste derived geopolymer cement concrete for structural applications
Author: Tempest, Brett
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering, Sustainability
Description: Geopolymer cements provide an alternative to the Portland cement used to manufacture structural concrete. The material commonly used to produce geopolymers is fly ash, which is found in the waste stream of power generation facilities. Therefore, r...

Title: Insitu Determination of Residual Soil Shear Strength Parameters Using the Standard Penetration Test with Torque
Author: Cottingham, Marcus
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: Residual soils are found throughout the world and often behave differently than transported soils. Residual soils are identified as materials developed from the insitu weathering of rock that has remained in the location of its origin as opposed t...

Title: MICRO- TO MACROSCALE MODELING OF DRINKING WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION
Author: Polaczyk, Amy
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering, Environmental sciences
Description: Models are valuable tools that can provide quantitative insight into a process or system, but must to be kept simple to remain meaningful. In this dissertation, three separate drinking water research projects were completed using numerical modelin...

Title: MODE I FATIGUE AND FRACTURE OF THE CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER TO CONCRETE BONDED INTERFACE
Author: Nicholas, Thomas
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: As wet, lay-up fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) continue to gain popularity in the redesign and retrofit of reinforced concrete structures; it becomes imperative to fully define the interaction between these materials. Until recently, the main body...

Title: TERRESTRIAL LIDAR-BASED BRIDGE EVALUATION
Author: Liu, Wanqiu
Date Created: 2010
Subjects--Topical: Civil engineering
Description: Considering the over half million bridges in the US state highway system, more than 70% of which were built before 1935, it is of little wonder that bridge maintenance and management is facing severe challenges and the significant funding scarcity...
