Diffusion and Rheological Properties of Asphalt Modified by Bio-Oil Regenerant Derived from Waste Wood
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To decrease the usage of energy and improve waste recovery, dynamic simulations are conducted to understand the diffusion mechanism and rheological properties of bio-oil regenerated asphalt. A new simplified model of bio-oil ...
Simulation of Impact of Water-Film Spray on Visibility
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On rainy days, large rain particles in the air block and scatter the light so that visibility on roads decreases. However, it is conventionally ignored that the spray caused by high-speed vehicles with the existence of ...
PSO–BPNN Fusion Algorithm for Tunnel Fire Ceiling Temperature Prediction under Longitudinal Ventilation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ceiling temperature in tunnel fires is crucial to determining safety parameters for both occupants and structures. Numerous studies have neglected the effect of longitudinal ventilation velocity in tunnels. This study ...
An Intelligent Fire Detection Algorithm and Sensor Optimization Strategy for Utility Tunnel Fires
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid development of utility tunnels, fire safety after construction is increasingly important, especially in the cable compartment. An intelligent fire detection method based on the particle swarm optimization ...
A Multiscale Bridging Material Parameter and Damage Inversion Algorithm from Macroscale to Mesoscale Based on Ant Colony Optimization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The study of material failure phenomena with coupled multiple scales is a need and a challenge. The fundamental difficulty in these problems is due to multiscale bridging material parameters and damage, which ensure that ...
Analysis of the Roughness Coefficient of Overflow in a Drainage Pipeline with Sedimentation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flow resistance is a critical calculation parameter in hydraulic engineering. In this study, the roughness coefficient of a circular drainage pipe with sedimentation was investigated under open-channel flow conditions using ...
Velocity Distribution and Separation Zone Characteristics in the Confluence of the Pipeline Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ability of urban pipe networks to transport water over time is significantly affected by the sedimentation of the pipe network, particularly at the pipe confluence area, where pollutants are frequently deposited and ...
Concept and Preliminary Static Analysis of Hybrid Anchored Suspension Bridge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Inspired by the structural system and the construction technique of self-anchored suspension bridges and earth-anchored suspension bridges, a new type of suspension bridge, named hybrid anchored suspension bridge, was ...
An Improved Updatable Backpropagation Neural Network for Temperature Prognosis in Tunnel Fires
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because it is impossible to predict the temperature in advance, specific fire scenes (fire type, fire location, tunnel geometry, etc.) are unknown in traditional tunnel fire research. To address this difficulty, this work ...
Adsorption Models and Kinetic Analysis of Molybdenum on the Sediment of the Yellow River in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Yellow River basin is rich in sediment that provides a transport carrier for the transport and diffusion of pollutants. Molybdate ions contained in the tributaries of the Yellow River are dispersed with the water and ...
