Super Bar Theory and BP System in Super Span Flat Space Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, possible solutions to the constraints of flat space frames in large spans are summarized, including the application of multilayer forms, the introduction of novel simplexes, and the improvement in structural ...
Hydrosedimentological Response to Estuarine Deepening: Conceptual Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper describes the effects of anthropogenic deepening of tidal rivers in a conceptual way, with focus on tidal distortion and the residual transport of coarse sediment, driven by asymmetries in peak velocity. The ...
Developing a Framework for Dynamic Organizational Resilience Analysis in Prefabricated Construction Projects: A Project Life Cycle Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prefabricated construction has recently played an increasingly significant role in social, environmental, and economic developments in the construction sector. Because prefabricated construction projects (PCPs) are ...
Study of the Relationship between Methylmercury Content and SRB in
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: We studied the relationship between the change of methylmercury (MeHg) content
Predicting the Morphodynamic Response of Silt-Laden Rivers to Water and Sediment Release from Reservoirs: Lower Yellow River, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The high sediment load of the Yellow River results in rapid infilling of its reservoirs when sediment is not regularly flushed. Simultaneously, the downstream reaches of the Yellow River experience extremely high siltation ...
Noncompete Provision Design for Transportation PPP Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Projects with poor noncompete provision design have caused heavy costs for both public and private organizations, primarily due to the embedded monopoly right of the private sector to collect toll revenue. Prior studies ...
Enhanced Degradation of Nitrosamines from Water Using Zero-Valent Iron-Assisted Biological Activated Carbon
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Nitrosamines have become a focus of considerable research because of their carcinogenicity and environmental universality. In this study, to effectively remove nitrosamines, biological activated carbon (BAC) was acclimatized ...
Characterization of Turbulent Properties in the EPA Baffled Flask for Dispersion Effectiveness Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The baffled flask test (BFT) has been proposed by United States Environmental Protection Agency to be adopted as the official standard protocol for testing dispersant effectiveness. The mixing energy in the baffled flask ...

Detecting the Characteristics of the Spatial Patterns of Trees Adjacent to Buildings within Changed Settlements of Farmers in Shanghai, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban sprawl has resulted in numerous land-lost farmers who must relocate from villages to residential quarters. The spatial landscapes of new homelands have profoundly changed, which is necessary for the succession of ...
