Discovery Day - Daytona Beach
Supported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this project’s objective is to create a novel simultaneous surface and discrete depth water sampler for use with an uncrewed aircraft, something which has not been done before. The device will be used to improve the spatiotemporal resolution of harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring on Lake Okeechobee in South Florida to provide timely and precise information on water quality and HABs. HABs are characterized by the EPA as certain species of algae that can produce harmful toxins and produce excessive blooms or growth in certain conditions. Often occurring in warmer months due to …
Utilizing Waste Paper Ash As Partial Cement Replacement In Concrete, Karim Hassan
Utilizing Waste Paper Ash As Partial Cement Replacement In Concrete, Karim Hassan
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
The concrete industry has a considerable environmental impact. The manufacture of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) emits a large amount of carbon dioxide, while the extensive extraction of virgin natural aggregates further burdens the environment during concrete production. This thesis is concerned with the development of low-carbon concrete through the combined utilization of waste paper ash (WPA), recycled aggregates, and accelerated carbonation curing. The main objective is to reduce the environmental footprint of concrete products, including masonry units, by enhancing their carbon sequestration potential, decreasing the use of cement, and alleviating reliance on virgin aggregates, while also maintaining adequate mechanical and …
Quantifying The Impacts Of The Covid-19 Pandemic And Water Tariff Reforms On Domestic Water Consumption In The Emirate Of Abu-Dhabi, Darin Ibrahim Khedr
Quantifying The Impacts Of The Covid-19 Pandemic And Water Tariff Reforms On Domestic Water Consumption In The Emirate Of Abu-Dhabi, Darin Ibrahim Khedr
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
The study of domestic water consumption is of critical importance, particularly in hot and arid regions where limited natural water resources and growing demand place increasing pressure on water supply systems. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi, represents an important case study, as domestic water demand is a major concern for policymakers and water resource managers. The emirate experiences an extremely arid climate and depends heavily on desalination to satisfy water requirements across all sectors. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on domestic water consumption in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and …
Draining Fountain Square With Alternate Delivery, Jason Koch, Mark St. John, Natalie Stephen
Draining Fountain Square With Alternate Delivery, Jason Koch, Mark St. John, Natalie Stephen
Purdue Road School
Indianapolis DPW has started construction on major drainage improvements in one of its oldest neighborhoods, Fountain Square. Building on lessons learned from similar projects in built-up, commercial areas, DPW decided to use an alternate delivery method to procure construction services. This session will provide a high level review of Indiana’s Public-Private Agreement statue (I.C. 5-23), how DPW applied it to the Fountain Square project, lessons learned, and how DPW plans to use this innovative delivery method for future projects.
