Deconstruction of ESG Impacts on US Corporate Bond Pricing: The Cost of Capital Benefits Across Industry Sectors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The growing interest in the financial materiality of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings has prompted recent investigations into their risk pricing impact in the corporate bond market. The specific implications ...
Multiobjective Optimization Design with Pareto Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a constrained multiobjective (multicriterion, vector) optimization methodology by integrating a Pareto genetic algorithm (GA) and a fuzzy penalty function method. A Pareto GA generates a Pareto optimal ...
Enhancing the Future Resilience of a Coastal Water Supply Infrastructure System to Sea-Level Rise
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Coastal water supply infrastructure systems (CWSISs) are exposed to saltwater intrusion (SWI) exacerbated by sea level rise (SLR) stressors. However, most existing definitions of CWSIS resilience are confined to the system’s ...
A Two-Stage Algorithm Based on Variable Distance Threshold for Estimating Alighting Stops Using Smart Card Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A reasonable method for estimating alighting stops can provide a data guarantee for schedule design and vehicle scheduling. However, few studies, to our best knowledge, have addressed this problem using the variable distance ...
Optimizing the Resilience of Coastal Water Supply Infrastructure System to Sea-Level Rise with Combined Adaptive Measures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coastal water supply infrastructure systems are critical to modern society. This paper proposes a model to develop improvement strategies for the resilience of these systems to sea-level rise, incorporating both predisaster ...
Multifaceted Influences of Urbanization on Sense of Place in the Rural–Urban Fringes of China: Growing, Dissolving, and Transitioning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rural–urban fringes are places undergoing dramatic shifts in people–place relationships worldwide, but relevant studies have yet to sufficiently reveal the change mechanism. This paper aims to use sense of place (SOP) as ...
Softened Damage-Plasticity Model for Analysis of Cracked Reinforced Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper develops a new damage-plasticity model considering the compression-softening effect of RC. The model is based on the framework of a two-scalar damage-plasticity model, and adopts the elastoplastic damage energy ...
Dynamic Hardening Behavior and Ductile Fracture of High-Strength Steel at Intermediate Strain Rates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mechanical properties of constructional steels at different strain rates were the basis for the dynamic analysis of the progressive collapse of steel structures. The effect of strain rate on the hardening behavior and ...
Wind–Temperature Characteristics of a Cable-Stayed Bridge along the Yellow Sea under Superstrong Typhoon Lekima
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The superstrong typhoon Lekima landed twice along the Yellow Sea of China in 2019; its wind characteristics and impact on bridges’ buffeting performance are still unclear. Based on the measured wind and temperature data ...
Research on H-3K Creep Coupling Calculation Model of Long-Term Prestress Loss of Anchor Cables
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prestress loss of anchor cables can cause a change in the internal force for the support structure of a foundation pit or slope, which may cause engineering accidents. The coupling effect between an anchor cable and the ...
