    Pine bark (PB) wood residues were chemically modified and used as anion exchange resins to remove phosphate (PO) from water. The modification process involved reacting a choline-based ionic liquid analog, comprised of a ...
  • Pile driving formulas based on pile wave equation analyses 
    Salgado, Rodrigo; Zhang, Yanbei; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Loukidis, Dimitrios; Bisht, Vibhav (2018-02-20)
    Pile driving formulas, which directly relate the pile set resulting from a hammer blow to the static load capacity of the pile, are often used to decide whether a pile will have the required design capacity. However, ...
  • PIV and CFD investigation of flocculation hydrodynamics. (c2019) 
    Danageuzian, Hrair Razmig (Lebanese American University, 2019-11-25)
    The performance of paddle flocculators in water treatment is highly influenced by the basin hydrodynamics. In their design, several hydrodynamic and geometric parameters are required to ensure the efficiency of the process. ...
