Cable Shape and Construction Parameters of Triple-Tower Double-Cable Suspension Bridge with Two Asymmetrical Main Spans
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Triple-tower suspension bridges with two asymmetrical main spans can adapt to complicated terrain conditions. If the top and bottom main cables with different sags are used on the two main spans, the longitudinal constraint ...
Removal of Antimony by FeCl3-Modified Granular-Activated Carbon in Aqueous Solution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, granular activated carbon was modified with different concentrations of ferric chloride (
Dynamic Distortion and Long-Term Settlement of Weathered Argillaceous Siltstone under Subway Tunnel Base in Nanchang, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Subway tunnels in Nanchang, China, may pass through one or several weathered argillaceous siltstones in the construction process. To reveal the influence of weathered argillaceous siltstone on the long-term settlement of ...
Dynamic Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Overpressure Burst of Pipeline with Pressure-Protection Systems in Case of Blockage
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although overpressure burst of pipeline with pressure-protection systems occurs infrequently in case of blockage, it endangers personnel safety and causes serious economic loss when it happens. Therefore, assessing the ...
Thermal Stabilization of Iron-Rich Sludge for High Strength Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A key task in wastewater sludge management is preventing sludge from polluting the environment. Sludge invariably poses risks to both public health and the environment whether incinerated or landfilled. Alternative reuses ...
Thermochemical Analysis in the Presintering Phase of Aggregates from Sludge-Marine Clay Mixes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rapid industrialization and urbanization in a highly limited land area leads to serious waste disposal problems. Scarcity of land causes the disposal of waste in landfills to be extremely uneconomical. An attractive ...
Lightweight Aggregates from Industrial Sludge–Marine Clay Mixes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Waste disposal problems are often the result of rapid industrial and economic developments in land-scarce municipalities. Waste utilization could be a viable choice to alleviate the problems by transforming wastes into ...
Refinement Identification and Evaluation of Tunnel Lining Cracks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In order to study the precise description and feature quantification of the tunnel lining crack morphology, the paper uses the tunnel lining panoramic-image method to rely on the Wujing Expressway Qingyantou Tunnel as the ...
Analytical Assessment of Main Cable Shape for Three-Pylon Suspension Bridge with Unequal Main-Span Lengths: Thermal Effect Consideration
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Three-pylon suspension bridges with unequal main-span lengths are terrain-adaptive, and this feature makes them suitable for broad applications. However, the design and construction control of such bridges requires an ...
Photovoltaic Power Generation in China: Development Potential, Benefits of Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is a significant way to deal with the energy crisis and protect the environment both in China and overseas. On the basis of analysis of the four factors that impact the development of ...
