RISOptimum Layout of Buildings Subjected to Geometric Constraints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Given the preliminary layout of a building, the vertical members will be relocated through optimization techniques to obtain the best building performance possible when subjected to lateral loads under specified constraints. ...
TURBULENCE MEASUREMENTS FROM 5-BEAM ACOUSTIC DOPPLER CURRENT PROFILERS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo new 5-beam Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, the Nortek Signature 1000 AD2CP and the Teledyne RDI Sentinel V50, are demonstrated to measure turbulence at two energetic tidal channels within Puget Sound, WA, USA. The ...
Proposal to Roof the Courtyards of an Historical Building in Pisa with Glass and Steel Grid Shells: Form Finding and Stability Problems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The technical note describes a proposal to roof two internal courtyards of the main building of the Engineering Faculty at the University of Pisa by means of thin flat shells made of a quadrilateral mesh of steel bars ...
Teaching User-Centered Design for More Sustainable Infrastructure through Role-Play and Experiential Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Civil infrastructure systems that fail to achieve intended goals drain financial resources and erode public willingness to invest in future upgrades and new systems. Starting the engineering design process with perspective ...
A New Robust Sliding-Mode Observer Design for Monitoring in Chemical Reactors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The robust observer design for the online estimation of heat in continuous stirred tank reactors, containing nonstructured uncertainties within its model description as well as noisy temperature ...
A Data Driven Approach for Condition Monitoring of Reciprocating Compressor Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on conditionmonitoring of three different valve failure modes common in reciprocating compressors. They are missing valve poppets, valve spring fatigue, and valve seat wear. First, a targeted instrumentation ...
Crop Coefficients: A Literature Review
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently presented climate change scenarios include increasing demand for water, due to both increase in temperature and variations in precipitation pattern. Since crop water requirements are related to climate and irrigation ...
Bridging the Gap between Engineering and Construction 3D Models in Support of Advanced Work Packaging
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Project failures and disputes are not uncommon in the construction industry. Advanced work packaging (AWP) is a planning and execution approach popular for capital and industrial projects. Although management processes are ...
Crop Coefficients: A Literature Review
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently presented climate change scenarios include increasing demand for water, due to both increase in temperature and variations in precipitation pattern. Since crop water requirements are related to climate and irrigation ...
Local/Global Effects of Mistuning on the Forced Response of Bladed Disks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The focus of the present investigation is on the assessment and modeling of the local (spanning only a few blades) and global (encompassing the entire disk) effects of mistuning on the forced ...
