RISTruncated Property Rights, Land Finance, and Grassroots Governments: A Case Study of Minor Property Rights Housing in Transitional China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the institutional foundations of the black market of “minor property rights housing” (MPRH), the informal housing supply in transitional China. The emergence of MPRH has stemmed from ...
Optimal Energy Scheduling of Microgrid With Electric Vehicles Based on Electricity Market Price
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to rising global energy demand and mounting environmental concerns associated with the widespread use of fossil fuels in conventional power plants, it is imperative that viable and cleaner energy sources are used. Here, ...
Closure to “Fatigue Behavior of Cracked Steel Plates Strengthened with Different CFRP Systems and Configurations” by Hai-Tao Wang, Gang Wu, and Jian-Biao Jiang
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Fatigue Behavior of Cracked Steel Plates Strengthened with Different CFRP Systems and Configurations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials can extend the fatigue life of damaged steel structures. However, several issues still need to be studied. In this paper, experimental and numerical studies were ...
Influence of Nonzero Mean Impulse Amplitudes on the Response Statistics of Dynamical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the influences of nonzero mean Poisson impulse amplitudes on the response statistics of dynamical systems. New correction terms of the extended Itô calculus, as a generalization of the Wong–Zakai ...
Experimental Study on Compressive Bond Anchorage Properties of 500 MPa Steel Bars in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Few studies on the anchorage of reinforcing bars under the compressive conditions have been undertaken. This paper reports the results of 99 pushout tests done to investigate the compressive bond anchorage properties of ...
Quasi-Accurate Detection of Outliers for Correlated Observations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experience with surveying practices has shown that correlated observations are very often encountered, especially in preprocessed observations. Hence, it is not only of theoretical interest, but also of practical interest, ...
Effect of FRP Configurations on the Fatigue Repair Effectiveness of Cracked Steel Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The epoxy-bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) technique has been attracting more attention for repairing steel structures. In this paper, cracked steel plates repaired with FRP laminates were investigated with the finite ...
