Environmental Regulations Reconsidered : Identifying Incentives and Barriers to Environmental Performance

Creator:: Craig, Kathleen D.
Abstract:: Attention has been drawn to the observation that environmental benefits under the current regulatory approaches are diminishing with respect to increased pollution control costs. Regulators have begun to appreciate that while environmental gains can still be achieved under the current command and control system, the most significant environmental gains have...

Seismic protection of flexible rotating machines using base isolators

Creator:: Su, Wen-Chyi
Abstract:: Base isolation is an alternative seismic design strategy in which the primary structures and their internal components are uncoupled from the potentially damaging horizontal components of an earthquake by base isolators which attenuate the transmission of horizontal acceleration into the system. Rotating machines are among the key internal components of...

Effects of an industrial fire on a community of south Phoenix, Arizona

Creator:: Degher, Alexandra B.
Abstract:: On August 31, 1992, Quality Printing Circuits, a circuit board manufacturing plant in Phoenix, Arizona, burned to the ground. The fire lasted approximately eight hours, creating a thick, black smoke that blew into the surrounding community. Emergency evacuation was erratic and since no air samples were taken during the fire,...

Metal and organic emissions from RDF and large volume contributor combustion

Creator:: Lee, Taejin, 1961-
Abstract:: The use of municipal refuse (RDF) as fuels has received widespread attention for reason of its energy equivalence and the increasing lack of available landfill sites. The principal obstacle to the construction of combustion facilities is that RDF produces toxic compounds, including heavy metals and such organic compounds as PCDD...

A model for simulation of subsurface transport of highway-related water quality constituents

Creator:: Hesse, Edwin Todd
Abstract:: A spreadsheet-based transport model was developed in Microsoft Excel™ as part of a six-year National Cooperative Highway Research Program project conducted at Oregon State University. The model simulated the leaching, transport, removal, and retardation processes that occur in the surface and subsurface pathways of the near highway environment. For all...

Estuarine sediment controls on trace metal distributions

Creator:: Davies-Colley, Robert J.
Abstract:: Sediments are the major compartment in aquatic environments for many materials of toxic or nutrient concern. The lack of knowledge of the phase associations of toxic metals in sediments is the largest deficiency in our understanding of the environmental hazard posed by metal contamination. This study examined the sedimentary partitioning...

Assessment of Environmental Impacts of Wood Substitution in Commercial Construction

Creator:: Milaj, Kristina
Abstract:: In the residential sector, wood is the predominant construction material. In the commercial sector and in mid‐rise construction, the use of wood is limited because of a multitude of reasons, including building code restrictions, the perception of wood as a structural material, fire code requirements, and lack of knowledge and...

Evaluating the Feasibility of Mass Timber as a Mainstream Building Material in the US Construction Market: Industry Perception, Cost Competitiveness, and Environmental Performance Analysis

Creator:: Ahmed, Shafayet
Abstract:: Mass timber has been considered as a promising building material because of its structural rigidity, environmental sustainability, and renewability nature. In Europe and Australia, mass timber materials have been used for many different types of construction such as residential, commercial, education, and industrial. However, the construction practitioners in the U.S....

A predictive model for environmental fate and transport of the toxicity of leachates from highway construction and repair materials

Creator:: Quigley, Marcus M.
Abstract:: Recent concern over the potential environmental impact of highway construction and repair materials on surface and ground waters has lead to extensive laboratory screening and subsequent testing of a set of new materials and waste amended mixes. As part of Phase II of a three-phase project for the National Cooperative...

Uranium and technetium bio-immobilization in intermediate-scale permeable reactive scale barriers

Creator:: Sapp, Mandy M.
Abstract:: Groundwater at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Field Research Center (FRC) is contaminated with U(VI) and Tc(VII), has pH values as low as 3.3, and nitrate concentrations as high as 120 mM. The objective of this research was to determine if in-situ bio-immobilization is a viable treatment alternative for this water....
