RISAnalysis of Dynamic Characteristics for Rarefaction Wave Gun During the Launching
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rarefaction wave gun (RAVEN) propulsion has renewed interest in the fundamental limits of recoil reductions attainable by redirecting propellant gases rearward from a gun without compromising the ...
Mixed Perceptions of Business-to-Government Guanxi in Tendering and Bidding for Infrastructure Projects in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Particle-Based Numerical Manifold Method to Model Dynamic Fracture Process in Rock Blasting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A particle-based numerical manifold method (PNMM) is developed to investigate rock fracturing behavior under dynamic loading. The basic idea of PNMM is to represent the microstructure of rock with a group of particles and ...
Causes of Business-to-Government Corruption in the Tendering Process in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Business-to-government (B2G) corruption is thought to be a common phenomenon in the Chinese construction sector, especially in public construction projects, inducing many accidents and losses. As a precursor to its reduction, ...
Impacts of Different Types of Owner-Contractor Conflict on Cost Performance in Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interactionism posits that all social structures have inherent conflicts within them that can yield positive or negative effects on organizational performance. Based on this theory, three essential types of conflict between ...
Interrelationships among Critical Success Factors of Construction Projects Based on the Structural Equation Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Clearly identifying the critical success factors (CSFs) of construction projects and a good understanding of the interrelationships among CSFs will help project managers focus on the control of key factors and allow them ...
Deformation Monitoring and Performance Analysis on the Shield Tunnel Influenced by Adjacent Deep Excavations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The health monitoring and analysis on the metro tunnels are very important because the metro system is the lifeline of metropolises and the shield tunnels are easily affected by adjacent constructions. In this paper, health ...
Displacement Performance and Simple Prediction for Deep Excavations Supported by Contiguous Bored Pile Walls in Soft Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the displacement performance of deep excavations supported by contiguous bored pile walls (CPWs) in soft clay is studied by analyzing the excavation case for a new main building for the Shanghai Civil Aviation ...
