Economic Sustainability of Transportation Infrastructure Procurement: The Differing Site Condition Clause Debate as an Underlying Environmental Trigger to Cost Overruns
Abstract: Case law is rife with contractual disputes arising due to lack of adequate geotechnical risk containment during procurement. The use of a ‘Differing Site Conditions (DSC) clause’, implies that, in the event of encountering a subsurface/geo-environmental condition different from that which was indicated in the contract, the owner bears the additional cost for executing the work under such conditions. However, the literature indicates a divergence in industry practise, with some …

The Characteristics of Square-Well Fluid Transport Coefficients
Abstract: The transport coefficients of the hard-sphere system were first computed by Alder, providing foundational insight into the microscopic origins of viscosity, diffusion, and thermal conductivity in simple fluids. Building on this framework, Evans derived a generalized Langevin equation to describe the time evolution of dynamical variables, incorporating memory effects and non-Markovian behavior in molecular motion. These theoretical developments established a bridge between microscopic interactions and macroscopic transport properties. When an …
