The objective of this project proposal is to provide an alternative design of the current pilot water treatment system located in the Civil Engineering Department hydraulics laboratory at the California State Polytechnic University. The existing syste . . .

Snowslide Canyon (i.e. channel) lies in the Crystal Lake Campground and is part of the San Gabriel Mountains. Through the years this watershed has experienced significant changes due to droughts, forest fires, and storm runoff. In addition, the channe . . .

The California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona), is located in the Inland Empire at the intersection of Highway 57 and Interstate 10. Highly dense urban environments yield metals, primarily being zinc and copper, and other pollut . . .

Previous work on unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) precast concrete walls shows that the DRAIN-2DX computer software can accurately represent the experimental base-shear versus lateral drift response of heavily prestressed walls under combined monotonic a . . .

In Dr. Palomo's engineering outreach class we have developed a set of lab activities that have been compiled into a lab manual. Through these labs we hope to excite and motivate the students about engineering through hands on activities and encourage . . .

The declining supply of drinking water for an increasing world population is a global concern with impacts on public health and economies. According to a recent United States Geological Survey (USGS) study, there is an abundance of brackish groundwate . . .

Concentrate stream control is of the most prevalent problems with brackish water desalination. Aside from a few communities located next to the ocean, the rest of country does not have direct access to the ocean for disposal of the concentrate stream. . . .

Majority of residential buildings in the United States are built of light-frame wood construction. Light frame-wood buildings located in highly seismic areas are designed to adequately resist such forces. The light frame wood shear wall (LFWSW) is a p . . .

The purpose of the thesis is to determine the mechanical properties of a soft cohesive soil know as Kaolin (Peerless 2) clay, running a static direct simple shear (DSS) test using the GEOCOMP ShearTrac-II cyclic direct simple shear apparatus. The thes . . .

The potable water distribution system hydraulic model described in this project is in Placer County and was developed to evaluate future Water Conservation Programs (WCP). In the order to complete this goal, the hydraulic model was assembled and then . . .
