RISComparative Analysis of Various Interaction Effects for Piled Rafts in Sands Using Centrifuge Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the current study, the load responses and interaction effects of piled rafts embedded in sands were investigated. A series of centrifuge load tests were conducted using different types of model foundations. Single piles, ...
Substructure Identification for Shear Structures with Nonstationary Structural Responses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In previous studies by the authors, a substructure identification method for shear structures was proposed to identify all structural story stiffness and damping parameters from top to bottom inductively. In the method ...
Demystifying Moderate Variables of the Interrelationships among Affective Commitment, Job Performance, and Job Satisfaction of Construction Professionals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Project goals expressed in terms of time, cost, and quality requirements are seldom disputed. However, it is not easy to ensure that the defined goals will be implemented by all parties involved in the implementation process ...
Impacts of the Bottom Vortex on the Surrounding Flow Characteristics of a Semi-Submerged Rectangular Cylinder Under Four Aspect Ratios
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vortex has attracted attention because it is the main factor affecting the flow characteristics around offshore structures. This paper researches the flow field variations around a semi-submerged rectangular cylinder (SRC) ...
Attributes of Hong Kong Construction Engineering Student Learning Approaches: Investigation of Chinese and Western Personal Values
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Members of the construction engineering profession require developing not only technical knowledge but also various personal attitudes and values to enable them to keep abreast of an ever-changing body of knowledge and ...
The Effects of Ambient Pressure on the Initiation of the Freezing Process for a Water Droplet on a Cold Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigated the effect of air pressure on the freezing process of a water droplet on a cold surface. A common belief is that bulk liquid water is incompressible and air pressure does not affect the freezing ...
The Value of Accurate High-Resolution and Spatially Continuous Snow Information to Streamflow Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrevious studies have shown limited success in improving streamflow forecasting for snow-dominated watersheds using physically based models, primarily due to the lack of reliable snow water equivalent (SWE) ...
Metanetwork Analysis for Project Task Assignment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Early studies of project planning endorsed a task-centric method, such as the program evaluation and review technique (PERT), that assigns relationships and tasks based upon the logical sequences of construction. This ...
Adaptive Frequency Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) system suggests speeds to vehicles to assist them pass intersections during green intervals. In application, drivers can ultimately decide whether to change speed based on ...
