Continuity diaphragms used on skewed bents in pre-stressed girder bridges cause difficulties in detailing and construction. The bridge parameters considered in the study described in this paper are based on results of a survey sent to other states' bridge engineers and design of experiment techniques. The parameters include girder type,...
Recovery of freshwater wetlands after oil spills depends on removal or degradation of the oil and regeneration of the plant community. To quantify the importance of seed banks to reestablishment of vegetation, soil cores (N = 210) were extracted from a freshwater wetland near Dulac, LA and exposed to sweet...
