Analysis of consolidation around driven piles in overconsolidated clay
… code ABAQUS, simulating the earth and pore pressure equalization. The MIT-Si model has been integrated within the ABAQUS code. The MIT-SI model provides predictions of installation stresses that are generally consistent with prior work by using the MIT-E3 model. However, the research …

Estimation of cavity pressures in air-permeable, multi-layer systems using a lumped-leakage approach
… buildings, the proper estimation of wind-induced pressures on the external façade, the roof surface, or the net pressures across elements like a canopy or parapet, which are exposed to wind on both sides, can be easily done using conventional wind tunnel tests. But in the case of air-permeable …

Cycle Scheduling and Design of Pressure Swing Adsorption (Psa) Cycles For Carbon Dioxide Capture From Flue Gas
… Among many viable CO2 capture options available, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is gaining widespread industrial acceptance because of its attractive economics. The goal is to capture 90% of the CO2 from stack or flue gas, concentrate it to over 95 vol%, and sequester it somewhere in the Earth. …

The significance of specimen end restraint in high pressure triaxial testing of cohesive soil
… in the measurement of misleadingly high pore pressures during undrained shearing, even when shearing is performed at a slow rate and pore pressure equalization is allowed to occur throughout a specimen. Slip surfaces were not found to develop during shearing for tests performed with smooth …

Wind-Induced Pressures in Air Permeable, Double-Layer Roof Systems in Regions of Separated Flow
This thesis is concerned with the wind-induced pressure distribution acting on air permeable, double-layer roof systems placed on low-rise buildings. Because of the pressure transmission into the cavity between layers, the pressure difference in the double-layer systems differs significantly from …
