ADYTrack: A Model for Structural Analysis of Railroad Trackbed Using Random Finite Element Method
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Railroads are playing pivotal role to the economic growth of United States and trackbeds ensure their safe and smooth operations. However, reliable trackbed performance prediction has always been challenging due to many ...
Enhancing the Performance of Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt through Controlling the Internal Network Structure Developed
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Sustainability presents a pathway for future generations to have a better life. Cradle to cradle methodology is the essence of sustainability. In cradle to cradle approach, we aim to reuti-lize a given waste instead of ...
A New Macro-Scale Hydrologic Processes Simulator for Depression-Dominated Cold Climate Regions
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The primary objectives of this dissertation research are to (1) improve the understanding of macro-scale hydrologic processes in cold climate regions, (2) improve macro-scale representation and modeling of depression-dominated ...
Microtopography-Dominated Discontinuous Overland Flow Modeling and Hydrologic Connectivity Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Surface microtopography affects a series of complex and dynamic hydrologic and environmental processes that are associated with both surface and subsurface systems, such as overland flow generation, infiltration, soil ...
Characterization of Activities of Crumb Rubber in Interaction with Asphalt and its Effect on Final Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Recycling of millions of scrap tires produced everyday is crucial challenge encountered by waste management systems. Recycling tire rubbers in form of ground tire rubber, known as crumb rubber modifier (CRM), in asphalt ...
