RISHydraulic Resistance Characteristics of Riparian Reed Zone in River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The riparian vegetation zone plays an important role in river ecosystems, flow resistance, water velocity distribution, and water level variation. In this paper, the impacts of riparian reed zones on river flow and water ...
Investigating the Crack Initiation and Propagation of Asphalt Binder in Linear Amplitude Sweep Test
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test has been widely accepted for estimating the fatigue resistance of asphalt binders in the last 10 years. This paper proposes a fracture mechanics–based analytical approach for crack ...
Investigating Stakeholder Perception and Developing a Decision Framework for Robot Adoption in Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Considering the benefits of using robots in the manufacturing and automobile sectors, robots are currently being developed for the construction industry; however, the rate of adopting robots in this industry is still in ...
Retention and Removal of Suspended Solids and Total Phosphorus from Water by Riparian Reeds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Riparian reeds in rivers may be able to remove contaminants such as phosphorus. In this study, a selected river section was surveyed to investigate the effects of riparian reeds on the suspended solids (SS) and total ...
Water Hammer Simulation Using Explicit–Implicit Coupling Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The method of characteristics (MOC) with the limitation of Courant’s stability condition is widely used in simulation of unsteady flow in a pipeline. However, the relatively complex method of implicit (MOI) provides the ...
Investigation into the Fatigue Damage Process of Rubberized Concrete and Plain Concrete by AE Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Incorporation of rubber particles in portland cement concrete is an effective way of consuming waste rubber. This paper presents results of a study on the fatigue properties of plain concrete, rubberized concrete, and ...
Hybrid Genetic Programming with Local Search Operators for Dynamic Force Identification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, based on the Darwinian and Lamarckian evolution theories, three hybrid genetic programming (GP) algorithms integrated with different local search operators (LSOs) are implemented to improve the search ...
As-Is 3D Thermal Modeling for Existing Building Envelopes Using a Hybrid LIDAR System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a hybrid method for rapidly measuring thermal data and three-dimensional (3D) geometries of buildings, allowing “virtual” representations of the energy and environmental performance of existing ...
Framework for Empirical Process to Improve Nonnuclear Gauge Performance in Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nuclear technology has long been used as a nondestructive method to measure the density of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) during pavement construction. Due to nuclear technology’s high costs and intense regulations associated with ...
Experimental Investigation of Deployment Process of Large Hoop Truss Antenna for Space
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Large hoop truss antennas are locked into a stable structure during deployment in space. The key to characterizing the performance of each mechanism, and discovering problems in the deployment process, is the three-dimensional ...
