  • Land surface energy balance and surface soil moisture variation in HAPEX-MOBILHY

    Creator:
    Nichols, William E.
    Abstract:
    The HAPEX-MOBILHY regional experiment provided an significant opportunity to analyze the partition of energy and distribution of water over land surfaces. The combination of remotely sensed data and ground instrument networks over the large-scale in situ experiment allowed investigation of spatial and temporal variation of such hydrologic parameters as the...

  • New Simulation and Fusion Techniques for Assessing and Enhancing UAS Topographic and Bathymetric Point cloud Accuracy

    Creator:
    Slocum, Richard K.
    Abstract:
    Imagery acquired from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and processed with structure from motion (SfM) – multi-view stereo (MVS) algorithms provides transformative new capabilities for surveying and mapping. Together, these new tools are leading to a democratization of airborne surveying and mapping by enabling similar capabilities (including similar or better accuracies,...

  • Design and evaluation of a foundation model testing device

    Creator:
    Kelly, Patrick Bryan
    Abstract:
    Model testing has proven to be an effective tool in the study of soil-structure systems. While primarily used in research work, this method of evaluation is also applicable to the solution of many types of complex design problems. Because of its workability and relatively simple characteristics, sand is the most...

  • Requirements for successful irrigation systems in the Senegal River Basin (Mauritania)

    Creator:
    Abba, Fatima Zahra
    Abstract:
    Implementation of a small-scale irrigation project in southern Mauritania is analyzed in this report. The main objective is to demonstrate that small-scale irrigation farming is the best suited solution for Mauritania's agriculture. To reach this objective different steps are taken in this study. The first step highlights the different aspects...

  • The static and dynamic analysis of discretely represented moorings and cables by numerical means

    Creator:
    Dominguez, Richard Frank
    Abstract:
    Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from...

  • Test method to determine the degree of asphalt stripping from aggregates

    Creator:
    Boudreau, Richard L.
    Abstract:
    Moisture damage has long been recognized as one of the most critical factors influencing the performance of asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. This moistureinduced damage occurs from either the physical separation of the asphalt film from the aggregate or the softening of the asphalt binder within the AC mixture in the...

  • Continuous-flow and batch column studies of anaerobic carbon tetrachloride biotransformation on Hanford soil

    Creator:
    Niemet, Michael Richard
    Abstract:
    Continuous-flow and batch experiments were conducted with a column reactor system containing Hanford aquifer material in order to evaluate the potential of in-situ bioremediation of carbon tetrachloride (CT) at Hanford. The effectiveness of benzoate and acetate as primary substrates was considered. Nitrate and sulfate were potential electron acceptors. Transport experiments...

  • Analytical framework for modeling scale-related variabilities in remote sensing

    Creator:
    Chen, Chaur-fong
    Abstract:
    A general analytical framework was established to investigate the scale-related variabilities in remote sensing. The variabilities were studied first by investigating canopy structure, canopy interaction with light, relation between spectral reflectance and plant phenological parameters. The variabilities simulated by the plant model were compared with the actual spectral data acquired...

  • Improving Long-Term Interlayer Bond Performance by Developing Quality Control Technologies and Certification Procedures for Tack Coats

    Creator:
    Villarreal, Richard C., III
    Abstract:
    The tack coat bond is known to affect the longevity of asphalt pavements. Proper interlayer bonding prevents successive pavement layers from acting independently of one another and creating non-uniform stress and strain profiles in the pavement structure. Poor bonding between pavement layers can result in various pavement failures such as...

  • Application of geostatistics to regional evapotranspiration

    Creator:
    Amegee, Kodjo Y.
    Abstract:
    Regionalized variable analysis has been used to study a number of meteorological and hydrological variables including precipitation (Delhomme and Delfinier, 1973), streamfiow (Villeneuve et al., 1979) and hydraulics of groundwater aquifers (Gambolati and Volpi, 1979). In the research work reported in this thesis, an attempt was made to characterize the...
