Abstract: The future members and leaders of the civil engineering profession are today's high school students. Two main problems confront the profession as it tries to attract excellent students to the field of civil engineering: ...

Abstract: The Journal of Construction Engineering and Management came into being by the effort of a small group of engineers. It was a struggle, but just as they succeeded in building impressive project, they succeeded in establishing ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of the combined effect of Coriolis and buoyancy forces enforced convection in a circular tube that rotates about an axis orthogonal ...

Abstract: Civil engineering design is an inspired activity. It offers the engineer a high degree of autonomy to conceive or create a unique, state-of-the-art, functional, cost-effective facility. Civil engineering design calls on ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the influence of Coriolis-induced secondary flow and centripetal buoyancy on the heat transfer within typical turbine rotor blade cooling passages. The experimental results ...

Abstract: The influence of rotation on local heat transfer in a rectangular-sectioned duct has been experimentally studied for the case where the duct rotates about an axis orthogonal to its own central ...

Abstract: An approach to quantify nonuniformity of compacted earth materials using spatially referenced roller-integrated compaction measurements and geostatistical analysis is discussed. Measurements from two detailed case studies ...

Abstract: This paper presents a selection of experimental results that examines the influence of orthogonal-mode rotation on local and mean heat transfer in a triangular-sectioned duct with potential ...
