Three-Dimensional Angularity Characterization of Coarse Aggregates by the Optimal Ellipsoid Approximation Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The three-dimensional (3D) angularity of coarse aggregates was investigated in this study by an optimal ellipsoid approximation algorithm. The minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid (MVEE) of the 3D coarse aggregate particle ...
Performance Analysis of an Innovative PCM-Based Internal Cooling Design for Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Battery Considering Compact Structure and Uniform Temperature
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Limited by the small space size of electric vehicles (EVs), a more concise and lightweight battery thermal management system (BTMS) is in great demand to keep the lithium-ion battery safe. In the current study, the phase ...
Bus-Arrival-Time Prediction Models: Link-Based and Section-Based
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bus-arrival-time information service is a key component of an advanced transit information system. Instantaneous and accurate prediction of bus arrival time can help improve the quality of service, and attracts additional ...
Algorithms for Generating Three-Dimensional Aggregates and Asphalt Mixture Samples by the Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An algorithm for generating three-dimensional aggregates was developed first in this study. This algorithm can model the various shapes, sizes, and angularity of coarse aggregates. The shapes, sizes, and angularity of the ...
The Characterization of Carbide Slag by Carbonation Curing and Its Enhancement Performance in Blended Cement Paste
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Capturing CO2 and using solid waste effectively has become a focus of attention. During this study, carbide slag (CS), a calcium-rich waste, was treated through carbonation. The characteristics of CS and carbonated carbide ...
Experimental Research on Relationship between Structural Parameters and Structural Strength Indexes of Intact Unsaturated Aeolian Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Proportion-Based and Tendency-Based Bus Trajectory Prediction Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the terminal station, the path headway bias of a trip is linearly correlated to the travel time of the path when it is beyond a critical range, which marks the tendency between successive trips. A tendency-based model ...
Robust Algorithm for Registration of Building Point Clouds Using Planar Patches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a robust algorithm for the registration of building point clouds based on the planar features when there are no targets in the scanning process. First, obtaining the normal vectors of the planes that ...
Rock-Concrete Interfacial Crack Propagation under Mixed Mode I-II Fracture
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental tests were conducted on composite rock-concrete specimens with four roughness profiles to investigate the propagation of interfacial cracks under three-point bending and four-point shear conditions. By measuring ...
The Dynamic Modulus of Asphalt Mortar and Its Master Curve
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The asphalt mortar specimens of AC-13 asphalt mixture with removed coarse aggregates are prepared using a static pressing method to study the changes in the dynamic modulus of asphalt mortar with different asphalt contents ...
