RISRole of a Pacific Easterly Wave in the Genesis of Hagupit (2008)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Advanced version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-ARW) Model is used to investigate the influence of an easterly wave (EW) on the genesis of Typhoon Hagupit (2008) in the western North Pacific. Observational ...
A Cognitive Model of Construction Workers’ Unsafe Behaviors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on construction workers’ unsafe behaviors and develops a cognitive model of construction workers’ unsafe behaviors (CM-CWUB). In the construction industry, many accident investigations reveal that workers’ ...
Multiscale Enhancement Mechanisms of EVA on EPS-Cement Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) lotion can significantly improve the interface problems caused by the physical and chemical differences between expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads and cement, which is one of the reasons why EPS ...
Posttensioned Seismic-Resistant Connections for Steel Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) with posttensioned connections are constructed by posttensioning beams to columns using high strength strands. Top and seat angles are added to provide energy dissipation and redundancy ...
Exploration and Validation of Wave-Height Measurement Using Multifrequency HF Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or operations across a wide range of oceanographic conditions, a radar system able to operate at more than one frequency is theoretically and experimentally recommended for robust wave measurement in recent years. To obtain ...
Singularity Analysis and Dimensional Synthesis of a 2R1T 3-UPU Parallel Mechanism Based on Performance Atlas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a symmetric 3-UPU (U and P represent universal and prismatic joints, individually) parallel mechanism and its variant mechanism under different geometric and assembly conditions are analyzed. Both have two ...
