RISEffect of Saline Irrigation Water on Tree Growth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Starting and maintaining windbreaks are especially important in arid and semiarid agricultural areas. To evaluate which of several species of trees might be most appropriate for windbreaks in various environments, a factorial ...
Effect of Pumping on Properties of Bridge Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pumping of concrete is widely used in large highway projects due to convenience and economy of placement. The short-term effects of pumping on the durability of concrete is well documented, whereas the long-term effects ...
Crane Mat Layout Optimization Based on Agent-Based Greedy and Reinforcement-Learning Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The growing prevalence of modular construction, while it offers benefits in terms of productivity and sustainability, has led to increased use of heavy mobile cranes and related resources on construction sites. One significant ...
Predicting Strength of Wood I-Joist with a Circular Web Hole
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Web holes are often made in wood I-joists to allow passage of services. Design properties of wood I-joists with a web hole are commonly developed through testing which leads to empirical design information. This paper ...
Multinomial Logistic Regression Model for Single-Vehicle and Multivehicle Collisions on Urban U.S. Highways in Arkansas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multivariate analysis can be used to identify the effects of several factors on the causes of a crash compared with univariate analysis. This paper uses a multivariate-analysis technique, the multinomial logistic regression ...
Mapping Raindrop Erosion of GFRP Composite Wind Turbine Blade Materials: Perspectives on Degradation Effects in Offshore and Acid Rain Environmental Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Climate change is rapidly forcing the world to create renewable energy that is capable of sustaining future energy requirements globally. The generation of renewable energy at a comparatively lower cost is a major challenge ...
The Irradiance-Based Growth of Surface Structures Induced by Nanosecond Laser Pulses on Si and Ge and Their Correlation With Plasma Ion Kinetic Energies and Densities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The laser irradiance-based surface structural growth on Si and Ge has been correlated first time with plasma parameters. The better control over plasma parameters makes manufacturing of various sized and shaped surface ...
Competitive Assessment of Ice and Frozen Silt Mat for Crane Ground Support Using Finite-Element Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: High capacity cranes are the backbone of the heavy construction industry, which, over the last few years, has embraced modularization. Consequently, ground stability has become a critical issue for their safe utilization. ...
Longitudinal Evaluation of a GIS Laboratory in a Transportation Engineering Course
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on the potential impact of student-centered feedback for enhancing the learning experience of civil engineering students that used a geographic information system (GIS) based tutorial in a transportation ...
Analysis of Molecular Beam Epitaxy Process for Growing Nanoscale Magnesium Oxide Films
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Like most nanomanufacturing processes, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) processes are based on atomic-level control of growing films and thus are sensitive to subtle changes that make repeatability ...
