RISDissatisfaction Levels in Turkish Residential Buildings and Recommendations for Improving Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well known that many residential construction projects suffer from low quality due to a variety of factors; therefore, to find out the level of dissatisfaction among stakeholders, the underlying causes, and the ...
Stochastic Assessment of the Material Haulage Efficiency in the Earthmoving Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The match factor is a criterion that measures efficiency of truck and loader compatibility used in the construction industry. This factor is a function of number of trucks and loaders, truck cycle time, and loader loading ...
Modeling and Control of Contouring Errors for Five-Axis Machine Tools—Part II: Precision Contour Controller Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The accurate tracking of tool-paths on five-axis CNC machine tools is essential in achieving high speed machining of dies, molds, and aerospace parts with sculptured surfaces. Because traditional ...
Analytical and Experimental Assessment of Some Novel Variable-Valve-Actuation Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We describe our analytical and experimental works on three novel variable valve actuation systems. These include a mechanical variable-lift and duration concept, a hydraulic-lost-motion variable-lift ...
Performance of Beam-to-Column Connection of a Well-Detailed RC Moment Frame Building under Pseudodynamic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of RC frame members under earthquake loading may differ significantly from that of the frame. Even if the story drifts are not significant, a collapse mechanism may be observed because of extensive deformations ...
