RISProgress and Recent Developments in Storm Surge Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The field of storm surge modeling has developed and matured considerably over the past 30 years. Several operational surge models have been implemented in Europe over the past decade. These operational advances have been ...
Evaluation of Coarse Aggregate Quality with respect to Current Specifications for Pavement Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In many states, coarse aggregate specifications for pavement mixtures are outdated and do not reflect the current level of knowledge concerning desirable aggregate properties for pavement applications. Because the performance ...
Response of Continuous Pavements to Moving Dynamic Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A linear theory that may be used to predict the primary responses (stress, strain displacement) of continuous pavements to moving dynamic loads is presented. The theory is derived from the well‐known convolution integral ...
Importance of Speed and Frequency in Flexible Pavement Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines the importance of structural dynamics in the primary response of flexible pavements to fluctuating, moving wheel loads. The influence of vehicle speed and loading frequency are examined first, using a ...
Viscoelastic Approach to Rutting in Flexible Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Permanent deformation (rutting) in bituminous pavements is treated as a linear viscoelastic flow phenomenon and is calculated using the linear elastic layered pavement model VESYS, reported by Kenis in 1978, supplied with ...
Modeling Tropical Cyclone Wave Population of the Great Barrier Reef
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wave information is generated for the population of tropical cyclones that affects the Great Barrier Reef region. Several models are combined to create a wave database at 150,000 locations at a resolution of 1,500 m ...
Discussion of “<i>Numerical Study of Finite Amplitude Wave Refraction</i>” by Im Sang Oh and Chester E. Grosch (January, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 1)

A Numerical and Experimental Study of Mass Transfer in the Artificial Kidney
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To develop a more efficient and optimal artificial kidney, many experimental approaches have been used to study mass transfer inside, outside, and cross hollow fiber membranes with different ...
Effect of Flow Baffles on the Dialysate Flow Distribution of Hollow-Fiber Hemodialyzers: A Nonintrusive Experimental Study Using MRI
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We used an innovative, nonintrusive MRI technique called the two-dimensional (2D) Phase-Contrast (2DPC) velocity-imaging technique to investigate the effect of flow baffles on the dialysate-side ...
Irrigation Performance Measures: Efficiency and Uniformity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is essential to standardize the definitions and approaches to quantifying various irrigation performance measures. The ASCE Task Committee on Defining Irrigation Efficiency and Uniformity provides a comprehensive ...
