Special Projects
ENGR 412 Water Resources (Well Field Design)
-Used population forecasts for Rhode Island for the next 50 years to determine water demand, then made calculations for the well field design.
ENGR 414 Geotechnical (Flexible Pavement Design)
-Performed a feasibility study on highway subgrade evaluation and flexible pavement design for Route 136 in Bristol, RI.
-The design was based on the following laboratory experiments performed on the soil that would be used for the subgrade material. Determination of specific gravity, grain size distribution including hydrometer analysis, Atterberg limits, and moisture-density relations.
ENGR 410 Advanced Hydrology (Hydropower)
-Performed a study on hydropower potential in the Blackstone River Basin.
-Used USGS gagging station data to prepare flow duration curves, located potential dam sites using the National Inventory of Dams, adjusted the flow duration curve for pool storage and distance from gagging station, made power calculations, performed site investigation, and designed penstock, turbine and housing.
