RISDuctility Degradation of Weathering Steel Q345 after Exposure to Hydrochloric-Acid Corrosion Dependent on Pitting Damage
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigated stress flow in weathering steel Q345 after strong acid corrosion. In total, 27 specimens were immersed in 36% industrial hydrochloric acid for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. ...
Study of the Properties of Waterborne Epoxy Resin Emulsified Asphalt and Its Modification Mechanism
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Waterborne epoxy resin (WER) emulsified asphalt (WEREA) has the advantages of high viscosity and strength of epoxy asphalt, as well as a simple construction process, so it is used widely in asphalt pavement maintenance and ...
Expatriate Construction Professionals’ Performance in International Construction Projects: The Role of Cross-Cultural Adjustment and Job Burnout
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The performance of expatriate construction professionals (EXCPs) has become increasingly critical for the success of international construction projects. This study investigated the role of job burnout and cross-cultural ...
Optimal Vibration Suppression of Timoshenko Beam With Tuned-Mass-Damper Using Finite Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the structural vibration analysis and design of a Timoshenko beam with the attached tuned-mass-damper (TMD) under the harmonic and random excitations are presented using the finite ...
Sources of Stochasticity in the Growth of Cloud Droplets: Supersaturation Fluctuations versus Turbulent Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role played by fluctuations of supersaturation in the growth of cloud droplets is examined in this study. The stochastic condensation framework and the three regimes of activation of cloud droplets— namely, mean dominant, ...
Fracture Mechanism of Steel Q370 under Strong Corrosion Based on Surface Morphology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive investigation, including experimental research, finite-element analysis, and theoretical derivation, was thoroughly carried out on the steel Q370 under strong corrosion to study its fracture mechanism ...
Thermal Runaway Gas Generation of Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries Triggered by Various Abusive Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are widely utilized in energy storage systems due to their numerous advantages. However, their further development is impeded by the issue of thermal runaway. This paper offers a ...
Merging Preparation Behavior of Drivers: How They Choose and Approach Their Merge Positions at a Congested Weaving Area
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Vehicle merging is a tactical process. In the existing merging models, drivers need to select a target gap and adjust their speed to reach a comfortable merge position to execute lane changing. However, such sequential ...
Critical Softening Radius of a Development Heading Causing Rock Bursts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Generally, prevention and control methods are adopted to reduce the possibility of regional stress-field-induced impact bursts in pressure relief engineering. However, such methods lack theoretical support and may inadvertently ...
Laboratory Evaluation on Pavement Performance of Polyurethane Mixture for Thin Overlay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The construction temperature of commonly polymer-modified asphalt for thin overlay is high, and the asphalt is prone to aging, which affects the service life of pavement. In this research, polyurethane (PU) binder was used ...
