Evaluation of Apparent Permeability and Field Assessment of Aged Asphalt Capping Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An asphalt cap system physically isolates contaminated soil from surface runoff to reduce contaminant migration from soil to groundwater. It is one of the most frequently selected remedies for managing sites contaminated ...
An Integrated Framework for Optimal Design of Complex Mechanical Products
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The presently achieved research results are not effective for the design of complex mechanical products when various methods and tools in different schemes have to be employed at different design stages. A new integrated ...
Optimizing the Remedial Process at a Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Site Using a Three-Tier Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pump and treat (P&T) system is widely used to remove contaminants in groundwater and maintain hydraulic capture of contaminants. A P&T system usually becomes costly in removing contaminant mass after operation for a period ...
An Integrated Approach for Design Improvement Based on Analysis of Time-Dependent Product Usage Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the recent advances in information gathering techniques, product performances and environment/operation conditions can be monitored, and product usage data, including time-dependent product performance feature data ...
Identification of Performance Requirements for Design of Smartphones Based on Analysis of the Collected Operating Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to overcome the problems due to subjective judgments in the traditional product requirement acquisition techniques based on the “users’ voices,” a new data-based approach is developed in this research to identify ...
Evaluating Supplier Performance Using DEA and Piecewise Triangular Fuzzy AHP
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in evaluating multicriteria decision making problems, which have multi-input and multi-output. However, the traditional DEA method does neither ...
Function Module Partition for Complex Products and Systems Based on Weighted and Directed Complex Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Modular design is an effective approach to shorten lead-time and reduce cost for development of complex products and systems (CoPS). Because the physical details of the product are not available at the conceptual design ...
Effect of Urban Structure on PM<sub>2.5</sub> in China: A Multiscale Landscape Analysis of 362 Cities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rapid urbanization adversely impacts urban air quality, impacting human health and the ecological environment. However, few studies have systematically explored air quality from the perspective of urban structural evolution. ...
Shake-Table Test for a Typical Curved Bridge: Wave Passage and Local Site Effects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To study the effects of ground motion spatial variations on curved bridges, this paper presents a shake-table test for a 1/10-scale typical curved bridge under spatial ground motions, including wave passage effect, local ...
Modeling and Separation of Thermal Effects from Cable-Stayed Bridge Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article presents a practical multivariate linear-based model for modeling and separation of thermal effects from the cable-stayed bridge response. First, the discrete typical thermal loadings, which are the variables ...
