RISProject-Based As-Needed Information Retrieval from Unstructured AEC Documents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increasing complexity of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects and fast track execution of project works, written documents are becoming more and more important for project coordination, ...
New Dynamic Prediction Approach for the Reliability Indexes of Bridge Members Based on SHM Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The last several decades have witnessed a bridge performance assessment shift from deterministic methodology to probabilistic methodology. Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been subjected to a rapid development process. ...
Blockchain Technology for Governmental Supervision of Construction Work: Learning from Digital Currency Electronic Payment Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Blockchain technology has been explored for governmental supervision of construction work (GSCW) due to its merits of traceability, immutability, and transparency. However, its decentralized nature is seemingly incompatible ...
Impact of Institutional Distance on Environmental and Social Practices in Host Countries: Evidence from International Construction Companies
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction businesses expanding internationally often need to devise corporate social responsibility (CSR) as an indispensable component of their competitive strategies. Companies will customize their CSR programs to be ...
Lubrication Performance of Nanoparticles Laden Gas Film in Thrust Bearing Under Noncontact and Contact Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The nanoparticlesladen gas film (NLGF), which is formed by adding nanoparticles into the gas film, has a potential to increase the load capacity of the gas film and to protect the surfaces of the bearing from severe contact ...
Nanoparticles Laden Gas Film in Aerostatic Thrust Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanoparticlesladen gas film (NLGF) was formed by adding SiO2 nanoparticles with volume fraction in the range of 0.014–0.330% and size of 30 nm into the air gas film in a thrust bearing. An effective viscosity of the ...
Observations of Irminger Sea Anticyclonic Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esoscale anticyclonic eddies in the Irminger Sea are observed using a mooring and a glider. Between 2002 and 2009, the mooring observed 53 anticyclones. Using a kinematic model, objective estimates of eddy length scales ...
From Semantic Segmentation to Semantic Registration: Derivative-Free Optimization–Based Approach for Automatic Generation of Semantically Rich As-Built Building Information Models from 3D Point Clouds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Development of semantically rich as-built building information models (BIMs) presents an ongoing challenge for the global BIM and computing engineering communities. A plethora of approaches have been developed that, however, ...
