Rationality of Applying High-Modulus Asphalt Concrete in Long-Life Asphalt Pavement with Semi-Rigid Base
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To construct a more durable long-life asphalt pavement with semi-rigid base, we combine different technical characteristics of long-life asphalt pavements reported at home and abroad. Different interlayer bonding conditions ...
Digestion Properties of Intracellular Polymers and Extracellular Polymeric Substances and Influences of Extracellular Polymeric Substances on Anaerobic Digestion of Sludge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Anaerobic digestion is a method adopted to treat sludge, but its effectiveness is limited by the existence of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). For the first time, this study separated sludge into intracellular ...
Enhancing Season-Ahead Streamflow Forecasts with GCMs, Climate Indices, and Their Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Streamflow forecasts play an important role in water resources operation and management, and skillful seasonal forecasts can significantly facilitate the decision-making process. Streamflow variability is often associated ...
Material Laws of FRP-Strengthened RC Element in Biaxial Tension–Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Significance of Conceptual Model Uncertainty in Simulating Carbon Sequestration in a Deep Inclined Saline Aquifer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In modeling geologic carbon sequestration in a deep inclined aquifer in Wyoming, the impact of geologic, engineering, and environmental uncertainty factors on parameter importance and prediction uncertainty is evaluated. ...
Purifying Heavily Polluted River Water Using Immobilized Native Photosynthetic Bacteria
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Black putrid river water is often found in densely populated regions with rapid economic development and population growth. This study proposes immobilized native photosynthetic bacteria (PSB), a group of bacteria that can ...
Sensitivity of Forecast Value in Multiobjective Reservoir Operation to Forecast Lead Time and Reservoir Characteristics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Streamflow forecasts can be used to improve reservoir operation decision-making, yet the sensitivity of forecast value to forecast lead time and reservoir characteristics in multiobjective reservoir operations is rarely ...
Numerical Investigation of Aerodynamic and Aeroheating Characteristics of Blunted Cone and Wedge for High Mach Number Flow
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the impacts of the windward shape on the aerodynamic and aero-heating characteristics of supersonic vehicles were investigated using the blunted cone and blunted wedge models. Then, three-dimensional (3D) ...
Valuing the Codesign of Streamflow Forecast and Reservoir Operation Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Seasonal streamflow forecasts are becoming widely used to improve water reservoir operations, especially in areas where climate teleconnections enable predictability on medium and long lead times. Most existing studies ...
Electrical Analysis of Smart Film-Based Crack-Width Monitoring in Bridge Infrastructure System
