Modified Sheet Pile Abutment for Low-Volume Road Bridge

Steel sheet piling, typically used for retaining structures in the United States, is a potential alternative for use as the primary component in low-volume road (LVR) bridge substructures. To investigate the viability of sheet pile abutments, a demonstration project was performed in Black Hawk County, Iowa. The project involved construction of a 40 ft single-span bridge utilizing axially loaded...

Low Temperature States In

The ground states and low temperature states of the Falicov-Kimball model are studied in the plane of chemical potentials of the two sort of particles involved, for large values of the coupling constant, near the half lled band. For this study, a cluster expansion is introduced which can be used to investigate the eeective interaction energy between the static particles.

Fiber Optic Sensing System for Temperature and Gas Monitoring in Coal Waste Pile Combustion Environments

It is presented an optical fiber sensing system projected to operate in the demanding conditions associated with coal waste piles in combustion. Distributed temperature measurement and spot gas sensing are requirements for such a system. A field prototype has been installed and is continuously gathering data, which will input a geological model of the coal waste piles in combustion aiming to un...
