Systemic Analyses and Indicators for Assessing Risks to Drinking Water Resources from Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a disruptive technology that has unlocked a vast amount of hydrocarbon resources, but presents risks to drinking water resources. Applying systemic risk assessment approaches to environmental ... -
Time-dependent Behavior of Various FRP Composites for Structural Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2011)This thesis represents the long-term behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for structural applications. FRP composites consist of high-strength fibers embedded in an epoxy resin. The long-term investigations ... -
Traffic Monitoring System Using In-Pavement Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Recently, adding more lanes becomes less and less feasible, which is no longer an applicable solution for the traffic congestion problem due to the increment of vehicles. Using the existing infrastructure more efficiently ... -
Ultraviolet Disinfection Pilot Study at the Fargo Wastewater Treatment Plant
(North Dakota State University, 2017)A pilot study was carried out at the Fargo wastewater treatment plant to determine the impacts that flow rate, water quality, and system fouling may have on the efficiency of UV disinfection. A second-order model successfully ... -
Utilization of Granular Activated Carbon Media to Improve Biofiltration for the Purpose of Taste and Odor Removal
(North Dakota State University, 2020)To determine the role biofiltration in organic removal and taste and odor compound removal within the Moorhead Water Treatment Plant, a comparative two-year pilot scale study was initiated to determine the feasibility of ... -
Warm Mix Asphalt Processes Applicable to North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Warm mix asphalt (WMA) represents a group of technologies that allows production of asphalt mixtures at lower temperatures compared to traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA). This results in less fuel consumption and reduction ... -
Weak Organic Acid Modified Granular Activated Carbon and Ceria Nanomaterial Embedded Graphene Oxide for Drinking Water Fluoride Removal
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Excess fluoride (F−) in drinking water leads to detrimental health effects including dental and skeletal fluorosis. More than 260 million people worldwide are affected by excess fluoride (>1.5 mg/L) in their drinking water. ... -
