RISRecent Party Wall Disputes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For centuries, party walls have been a common construction practice in many countries. In New York City (NYC), they have been used since the 1700s. The city accounts for about 201,000 attached buildings. The historic NYC ...
Eight Cycles of Facade Inspection in New York City
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Since the enactment of the first New York City (NYC) facade inspection ordinance in 1980, eight five-year complete cycles have been registered. The paper is a commentary on the 40-year years’ evolution of the practice of ...
Facades of Manhattan Apartment Buildings from the 1902–1915 Period. I: Modes of Failure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The apartment buildings erected in New York City between 1902 and 1915 form a specific typology characterized by similarities in structural, architectural, and fire protection solutions. Except for a few municipal buildings ...
The Mediterranean-Dead Sea Project: A Mathematical Model and Dynamic Optimization of a Solar-Hydroelectric Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Dead Sea, part of the Jordon Rift Valley, lies at an elevation of about 400 m below sea level at a distance of only 70 km from the Mediterranean. In this paper, a mathematical model ...
A Dynamic Optimization for Operation of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical model is derived, simulating the dynamic behavior of a cavern-type (constant volume) compressed air energy storage system (CAES). With the aid of the model, optimal control of ...
The Influence of the Initial Ovality Tolerance on the Nonlinear Cycling Analysis of Piping Bends
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the nonlinear shakedown analysis using finite element method for piping bends taking into account the maximum ovality tolerance. The resulting strain state of the stabilized ...
Effect of Construction on Axial Capacity of Drilled Foundations in Piedmont Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A program of field loading tests was conducted to measure the axial response of drilled foundations constructed using a variety of different drilling techniques. The research was performed at the Auburn University National ...
Response of Channel Flow to Roughness Heterogeneity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hydrodynamic response of turbulent flow in an open channel to the bed and bank roughness heterogeneity was demonstrated. Roughness‐induced secondary currents were numerically simulated in the presence of the vortex ...
Fuzzy Logic Estimation Applied to Newton Methods for Gas Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This method, based on fuzzy logic principles, is intended to find the most likely solution of an over-determined system, in specific conditions. The method addresses typical problems encountered ...
Shakedown Analysis of Nuclear Components Using Linear and Nonlinear Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A cyclically loaded structure made of elastic-plastic material is considered as an elastic shakedown if plastic straining occurs in the first few cycles and the sequent response is wholly ...
