Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Hydraulic Performance of Ski-Jump-Step Energy Dissipater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Simulation and Measurement of Human-Induced Vibrations of the Beijing Olympic Watchtower with Tuned Mass Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Beijing Olympic Watchtower (BOW) is a landmark building with irregular shape and complex structural configuration; however, excessive human-induced vibrations of the sightseeing platform may occur during service, ...
Impact of Chinese Urbanization and Aerosol Emissions on the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractImpacts of urbanization and anthropogenic aerosols in China on the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) are investigated using version 5.1 of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5.1) by comparing simulations with and ...
Prediction of Flow-Regime Transition over a Stepped Channel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For the hydraulic design of a stepped channel, it is crucial to estimate the limit of flow regimes. Step flow in the quasi-uniform region of a stepped channel is analyzed theoretically in this paper. The present work adopts ...
Dependence of Gas Collection Efficiency on Leachate Level at Wet Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and Its Improvement Methods in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Landfill gas (LFG) collection efficiency is low at many municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in China. The relevant mechanism and potential solution for this problem are studied through laboratory gas permeability tests ...
Gas Pressure Model for Layered Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model for calculating gas pressure profiles in layered landfill systems is presented. Solutions to scenarios considering a zero-pressure top boundary condition and a zero gas flux or fixed gas pressure bottom ...
Improved DTTE Method for Route-Level Travel Time Estimation on Freeways
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Travel time estimation plays an important role in advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) for dynamic traffic management. Static travel time estimation (STTE) and dynamic travel time estimation (DTTE) are two of the ...
