(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)With aging infrastructure, not only in the United States, but worldwide, we look toward designing structures which can withstand the test of time. Creating structures that can adapt to changes in the environment and provide ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Ghana is one of the few countries that was re-classified from low-income country to low-middle income country in 2011 by the World Bank (World Bank, 2011a). At the same time, Ghana is still in the process of achieving the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is widely regarded as a promising tool for reducing global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, while allowing continued use of fossil fuels in the 21st century. In CCS, CO₂ is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Cranes are the fundamental machinery used during lifting operations, and are crucial to the construction industry. Several key construction processes would be impossible without cranes and the benefits they provide. Cranes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Recent military conflicts reveal that the ability to assess and improve the health of a society contributes more to a successful counterinsurgency (COIN) than direct military engagement. In COIN, a military commander ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This study examines the feasibility of using turbulent jets to destratify the Lower Charles River Basin between the Longfellow and Craigie Bridges between Boston and Cambridge. The basin is currently filled with salt water ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Safe drinking water is essential for human survival, yet it is unavailable to over 1 billion of the world's people living in poverty (World Bank, 2009). The current methods used to identify drinking water sources are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The goal of this thesis is to assess the influence of an existing structure on tunneling-induced ground movements. This is accomplished through 2D numerical simulations that are compared with similar prior studies reported ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)As landslide hazard has intensified in the past decades, the development of landslide hazard evaluation systems has become more and more important. However, not much attention is paid to discussing the landslide transition ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)With ever increasing constructability capacities, engineers have found solutions to build taller and taller structures. However, the race for the sky has not only brought up new ways of building, it has also created new ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Major airports in the United States and around the world have seen an increase in congestion-related delays over the past few years. Because airport congestion is caused by an imbalance between available capacity and demand, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Utilizing automatically collected data sources, this research strengthens the understanding of changes in user travel behavior caused by the introduction of the extended East London Line (ELL) into London's public ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis is addressing the problem of optimizing the positioning of dampers in a building in order to reduce the cost and achieve a targeted damping for each mode. In order to do so, the thesis is divided into two parts. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In the future, large-scale sensor deployment would enable many areas such as infrastructure condition monitoring and supply chain management. However, many of today's wireless sensor technologies are still too expensive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The United States Army's end-to-end logistical network during times of conflict is made up of two separate networks. One network, managed by the Department of Defense, controls the shipment of supplies from the manufacturing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Models of terrestrial water and energy balance include numerical treatment of heat and moisture diffusion in the soil-vegetation-atmosphere continuum. These two diffusion and exchange processes are linked only at a few ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)An experimental study is performed to understand the sensitivity of ground deformation to subsurface properties and operations of oil and gas fields. Ground deformation, or more severely subsidence, may pose concerns for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)2.5 billion people worldwide do not have access to improved sanitation and Sub-Saharan Africa is not on track to meet the MDG sanitation target. As of 2010, Ghana has achieved 14% national improved sanitation coverage and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The Grand Junction railroad lies at the heart of East Cambridge adjacent to the Kendall Square business district and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus. Over the last one hundred years the railroad has gone ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The last eight decades of urban transportation planning and engineering in the United States have been dominated by the hegemony of the automobile. Auto-oriented planning of the transportation and land use system has had ...
