In order to come up with the most adequate design, experts have to carefully define the level of risk on the new structure, since people don't want to live in bunker-like buildings. Then, a good understanding of explosive devices will be a major help to keep the damage localized, preventing the ov

This research investigated the adsorption mechanisms of hydrophobic chlorinated contaminants in mineral micropores and on iron metal surfaces. Activated adsorption and desorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) in mineral micropores was studied using experimental and molecular modeling techniques. Adsorption of TCE on a silica gel adsorbent was measured using a frontal analysis chromatography technique at atmospheric and elevated fluid pressures. The results showed that the increase in pressure was able to rapidly induce the formation of a desorption resistant fraction. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo

Abstract:

Sustainable development through sustainable engineering is a promising strategy for combating unsustainable patterns of population growth, resource consumption, and environmental degradation. For sustainable engineering to alleviate global problems, however, improvements in undergraduate education are required to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to engage in sustainable design. Consequently, the goal of this dissertation is to assess and improve sustainability education in civil and environmental engineering (CEE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Thr

This study presents the application of control methods in seismic mitigation of structural responses. The study consists of two parts. In the first section, fractional order filters are utilized to enhance the performance of the conventional LQR method for optimal robust control of a simple civil structure. The introduced filters modify the state variables fed back to the constant gain controller. Four combinations of fractional order filter and LQR are considered and optimized based on a new performance criterion defined in the paper. Introducing fractional order filters is shown to improve t

Several chemical industries in Canada discharge untreated effluents containing substantial amounts of organic pollutants. Environmental concern regarding the pollution of water bodies has led the authorities to issue stringent regulations with respect to the quality and quantity of wastewater that can be discharged.

The study showed that two highly concentrated effluents were amenable to biological treatment. The first effluent, "plastifiant", was generated f

End-of-life tyres are a disposal problem regarding the large volumes produced every year. Tyre shreds are primarily produced to reduce the transportation volumes of end-of-life tyres after collection. Within the European Union, there is a ban for landfilling tyre material in order to reduce the total landfilling volumes and to encourage recycling measures. Until recently the main disposal option has been energy recovery in industrial processes. However, legislation acts has recently been taken in the European Union to encourage recycling and recovery of end-of-life-tyres and re-use of tyre mat
