Computational wind engineering using finite element package ADINA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Design of tall and long span structures is governed by the wind forces. Inadequate research in the field of wind dynamics has forced engineers to rely on design codes or wind tunnel tests for sufficient data. The present ...
The accessibility and development impacts of new transit infrastructure : the Circle Line in Chicago
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis explores the impacts of new transit infrastructure projects on the land use transportation system. Land use and transportation systems are inherently interconnected and form an integrated system; and transport ...
Developing a contactless bankcard fare engine for Transport for London
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis investigates the design of a fare engine which operates within the constraints of using contactless bankcards as a fare instrument, while satisfying the complex current and future fare requirements of Transport ...
Trihalomethane formation in rural household water filtration systems in Haiti
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Methodology for achieving GASB 34 modified approach compliance using U.S. Navy "Smart Base" facility management practices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Experiments on waves and currents over a movable bed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Calibration of mesoscopic traffic simulation models for dynamic traffic assignment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Household adoption of ecological sanitation : an assessment of agricultural value and user perspectives in Nyanza Province, Kenya
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Ecological sanitation, or ecosan, refers to a range of sanitation technologies in which human excreta is recovered and retained on-site, and eventually reused. However, when a culture does not have a tradition of reusing ...
Transit preferential treatment : a public policy-making perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Buses and in general at-grade public transportation remain the most important component of transit services in all the urban areas, whether they are feeder to a heavy rail system or an independent network. However, the ...
Water intrusion in underground structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This thesis presents a study of the permissible groundwater infiltration rates in underground structures, the consequences of this leakage and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Design guides and codes do not restrict, ...
