RISThe Flexural Vibrations of Thin Laminated Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is developed for calculating the natural frequencies of vibration of a thin right circular cylinder. The vibration pattern may contain any number of peripheral or axial nodes. The ...
Surge Avoidance in Gas Compression Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The phenomenon of compressor surge and its prevention have drawn significant attention in the literature. An important aspect of surge avoidance lies in the design of the compressor station ...
Guideway-Suspension Tradeoffs in Rail Vehicle Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study addresses the question of whether rail passenger vehicles with more sophisticated (and more expensive) suspensions can operate on rougher (and less expensive) track with an overall ...
Owner Procured Preliminary Shop Drawings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Located near downtown Milwaukee, the Marquette Interchange reconstruction project is the largest and most complex highway project ever undertaken by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The construction staging on ...
DRB Enhanced Partnering on the Marquette Interchange: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Completion of the Marquette Interchange Reconstruction project by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) under budget, ahead of schedule, and with no construction claims at the end of construction was a ...
Extending Normalized Gaussian Adaptive Hyperspherical Integration for Fast Computation of Accurate Unsatisfactory Performance Probability for Hydraulic Retaining Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The probability of unsatisfactory performance (PUP) is taken into consideration during the design of the US Army Corps of Engineers hydraulic structures retaining earth. These structures possess multiple limit states. A ...
Pavement Interactive: Pavement Knowledge Transfer with Web 2.0
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: (http://pavementinteractive.org) is an ongoing experiment in coupling a participatory web application with a unique data set to improve transportation engineering knowledge transfer. Specifically, Pavement Interactive is ...
Request for Information: Benchmarks and Metrics for Major Highway Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A request for information (RFI) is a formal written procedure initiated by the contractor seeking additional information or clarification for issues related to design, construction, and other contract documents. Large ...
New Approach to Developing Conceptual Cost Estimates for Highway Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Developing a reliable project cost estimate is a challenge for any state highway agency (SHA), especially at the conceptual stage. A conceptual estimate is defined in this paper as the estimate prepared at the point at ...
Prioritization Framework for Asset Management of New Brunswick’s Covered Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Heritage bridges, such as covered bridges, provide a connection to a past time and engineering methods, and form part of the architectural landscape. Accordingly, quality examples of heritage bridges should be maintained ...
