Creator:: Ryan, Kelly M.
Abstract:: A gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm consisting of methylotrophic bacteria was effective in degrading chlorinated methanes, ethanes, and ethenes. The biofilm was developed on a gas-permeable fabric (Goretex, W.L.Gore & Associates, Elkton, Maryland) that divided a reactor vessel into a liquid compartment and a gas compartment. Goretex is a nylon-backed teflon mesh...

Creator:: Pang, Incheol Jonathan
Abstract:: This microcosm study demonstrated the enhanced anaerobic transformation of vinyl chloride (VC) to ethylene. A previous microcosm study from Point Mugu site showed the accumulation of VC due to the slow transformation step of VC to ethylene. To overcome the rate-limiting step, two laboratory experiments tested the effect of trichloroethylene...

Creator:: Mazarei, Vandad
Abstract:: Alkali silica reaction (ASR) and corrosion of reinforcement are two deterioration mechanisms in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. These deterioration mechanisms can significantly damage a RC structure and reduce its service life. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are commonly used to improve the durability of RC systems containing reactive aggregate that are...

Creator:: Blatchford, Christina
Abstract:: This study evaluated the potential of the aerobic Mycobacterium strain JS6O to grow on a variety of organic acid substrates, and the possible effects an organic acid would have on the degradation rate of vinyl chloride (VC). A series of batch growth tests were designed to determine the time it...

Creator:: Rodriguez Matiz, David Esteban
Abstract:: Performing bridge inspections can be a very daunting task for every department of transportation (DOT) in the country. Because the leading cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete bridge decks is corrosion of the steel reinforcement, the ability to detect the concentration of corrosion-causing chlorides in the concrete, using a non-destructive...
