Surge Shaft Stability with Pumped‐Storage Schemes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The stability of surge tanks is investigated taking into account the friction losses in the pipe, surge tank and the junction losses. Three surge shaft stability problems are investigated for a surge shaft layout. Pump ...
Discussion of “Probability of Failure Analysis due to Internal Corrosion in Cast-Iron Pipes” by Hamid Yamini and Barbara J. Lence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Earthquake Preparedness and Response: Comparison of the United States and Japan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Earthquakes often occur with little to no warning and have the potential to cause enormous amounts of destruction and death. Countries with means have developed complex emergency management systems to address this constant ...
The Role of Surface Albedo Feedback in Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coarse resolution coupled ocean?atmosphere simulation in which surface albedo feedback is suppressed by prescribing surface albedo, is compared to one where snow and sea ice anomalies are allowed to affect surface albedo. ...
Discussion of “<i>Behavior of Two‐Span Continuous Bridge under Truck Axle Loading</i>” by Jane L. Tiedeman, Pedro Albrecht, and Lloyd R. Cayes (April, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 4)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Stiffened, Coupled Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on the continuum approach, a general analysis is presented for a pair of laterally loaded, coupled shear walls, supported on either rigid or flexible foundations, with one or two stiffening beams at arbitrary positions ...
Adaptive Robust Stabilization of the Furuta's Pendulum Via Attractive Ellipsoid Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the issue of adaptiverobust stabilization of the Furuta's pendulum around unstable equilibrium where the dynamical model is unknown. The control scheme lies at the lack of the dynamical model as well ...
Rutting as a Function of Dynamic Modulus and Gradation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate rutting resistance of asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures as a function of dynamic modulus and gradation. The flow number (FN) test, the recommended procedure (NCHRP 9–19) for evaluating ...
Evaluating Foamed Asphalt Stability Using Acoustic Emission Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on the feasibility of using acoustic emission (AE) techniques to evaluate stability of foams produced from paving-grade asphalt binders. The study compared asphalt foamability index [expansion ratio (ER) ...
