  • Watershed modeling at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

    Creator:
    Britch, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Studies are currently underway to determine the suitability of Yucca Mountain in Nevada as the nation's first high-level nuclear waste repository. Values of net infiltration are required to determine pre-waste emplacement groundwater travel times and the performance of the repository as a waste containment system. The objective of this study...

  • Anaerobic reductive dechlorination of TCE and TCFE in TCE contaminated sediments : enhanced bioremediation and bioaugmentation

    Creator:
    Lee, Jae-Hyuk
    Abstract:
    This research focused on the enhanced reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) and its surrogate, trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE), using two bioremediation methods in anaerobic conditions. Two anaerobic bioremediation studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron acceptors and donors during anaerobic reductive dechlorination of...

  • Advancing Spatial Data Engineering and Analysis: Integrative Approaches with GIS, Statistical Modelling, and Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Krivova, Maria
    Abstract:
    Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...

  • Numerical simulation of anaerobic reductive dechlorination of CAHs in continuous flow systems

    Creator:
    Mustafa, Nizar Ahmad
    Abstract:
    Halogenated organic compounds have had widespread and massive applications in industry, agriculture, and private households, for example, as degreasing solvents, flame retardants and in polymer production. They are released to the environment through both anthropogenic and natural sources. The most common chlorinated solvents present as contaminants include tetrachloroethene (PCE, perchloroethene)...

  • A numerical wave tank based on coupled potential flow-viscous flow model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a coupled potential flow-viscous flow model is used for numerical wave tank simulation. The solver satisfies all the requirements for such a simulation environment. The coupling scheme is based on a non-overlapping heterogeneous domain decomposition method. In this method, the flow domain consists of two subdomains. In...

  • Lidar-based Post-earthquake Pavement Damage Classification System

    Creator:
    Shakya, Suzanna
    Abstract:
    3D laser scanning has been used extensively in engineering reconnaissance surveys to capture perishable data in an efficient, reliable, and precise manner. Many insights on damage can be obtained from the data through various methods of post-processing; however, many of these techniques are often labor intensive. This delay reduces the...

  • Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

    Creator:
    Zhu, Minjie
    Abstract:
    To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...

  • Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

    Creator:
    Santha, Rubini
    Abstract:
    Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...

  • New Techniques to Monitor and Characterize Landslide Behavior and Controls Using Digital Terrain Models

    Creator:
    Senogles, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Coastal landslides and erosion are major natural hazards resulting in unstable slopes, constituting immense challenges to modern infrastructure. Developing, maintaining, and performing risk assessments of infrastructure on, or close to, these hazards require a detailed understanding of the geophysical processes destabilizing the slope. These efforts start with the collection of...

  • Roughness and geometry effects of engineered log jams on 1-D flow characteristics

    Creator:
    Valverde, Rachelle S.
    Abstract:
    The re-introduction of large woody debris (LWD) into streams and rivers for stream restoration purposes is rapidly growing. Engineered log jams (ELJs) are man-made structures intended to mimic natural LWD structures, designed and installed to protect stream banks from erosion while increasing habitat diversity. Several studies have evaluated the flow...
