RISWalking Vibration Response of High-Frequency Floors Supporting Sensitive Equipment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-frequency steel and concrete floors are often used to support sensitive equipment to minimize vibration response to walking. Equipment vibration tolerance limits are sometimes expressed as waveform peak acceleration, ...
Simplified Experimental Evaluation of Floors Subject to Walking-Induced Vibration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When occupants complain of lively floor motion due to human activity, it is often necessary to estimate the dynamic properties of the floor and ascertain the form and level of vibration response toward the goal of designing ...
Train Operation Diagram–Based Equilibrium Model for an Urban Rail Transit Network with Transfer Constraints
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For urban rail transit (URT) operation and management, it is important to accurately estimate the spatial and temporal passenger flow distribution spreading all over the network. Unfortunately, a literature review shows ...
The Water Quality Improvement through Two Pollutant Load Allocation Methods in Gehu Lake, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to many industrial and domestic pollution sources gathered around Gehu Lake and the lack of effective reduction measures, the ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus in a large area of the lake exceed the standard. In ...
Heat Transfer Enhancement in Air-Heating Flat-Plate Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The efficiency of an air-heating flat-plate solar collector can be increased by reducing the absorber plate temperature by providing it with extended surfaces. An experimental study was conducted ...
Tunable Acoustic Properties in Reconfigurable Kerf Structures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Freeform structures are appealing in architecture owing to their ability to combine pleasing aesthetics and functionality. Regarding architectural functionality, freeform structures have the potential to meet desired ...
The Impact of Layer Perturbation Potential Energy on the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper analyzes the relationship between the 1000?850-hPa layer perturbation potential energy (LPPE) as the difference in local potential energy between the actual state and the reference state and the East ...
Adaptivity of Budyko Hypothesis in Evaluating Interannual Variability of Watershed Water Balance in Northern China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study evaluates the performance of three Budyko-type equations (Fu’s equation, Turc-Pike’s equation, and Milly’s equation) in modeling annual evapotranspiration in 32 watersheds covering both humid and arid regions ...
Evaluating Ensemble Kalman, Particle, and Ensemble Particle Filters through Soil Temperature Prediction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Data assimilation is a useful tool in hydrologic and agricultural application studies because of its ability to produce predicted results with high accuracy. However, different data-assimilation methods have different ...
CFD Simulation and Optimization of Flow-Reverse Catalytic-Combustion Reactor
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work attempts to optimize the traditional flow-reverse reactor by establishing a three-dimensional model of a toluene catalytic-combustion reactor through computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Four optimized structures ...
