RISPerformance Measurement in the Public Sector: Example of the Building Administration Authorities in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modern government, if not well managed, cannot perform well in a pluralist society. Regarding the public administration performance of dealing with construction permits, Taiwan ranked last among the four little dragons in ...
Origin of the Warm Arctic–Cold North American Pattern on the Intraseasonal Time Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The warm Arctic–cold continent pattern (WACC) of near-surface air temperature variability has often been associated with the connection between Arctic sea ice reduction and cold weather over the midlatitude continents. ...
Hydraulic Properties of Sands Treated with Fungal Mycelium of <i>Trichoderma virens</i>
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Filamentous fungi grow by extending and branching hyphae through soil pores, which creates an interconnected fibrous network known as mycelium. Fungal mycelium can cross-link and entangle soil particles, which reduces pore ...
Consolidation and Hydraulic Properties of Sand–Biochar and Lightly Cemented Sand–Biochar Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil–biochar mixtures have been increasingly investigated for geotechnical applications (e.g., landfill cover system and roadway stormwater filter). However, biochar particles have lower stiffness and strength than soil ...
Interaction between Laterally Loaded Pile and Surrounding Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fully instrumented experiment was conducted to investigate the soil-structure interaction of single short, stiff laterally loaded piles. A hollow steel pipe pile with a diameter of 102 mm, a thickness of 6.4 mm, and a ...
Closure to “Interaction between Laterally Loaded Pile and Surrounding Soil” by Hai Lin, Lusu Ni, Muhannad T. Suleiman, and Anne Raich

Critical Points for Variable Length Elastica With a Fixed Point Constraint Under Displacement Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies a variable length elastica with a fixed point constraint by an assembly method that regards the whole elastica as an assembly of two components, i.e., pinned-clamped elasticas. The pinned-clamped elastica ...
Effects of Enzyme and Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation Treatments on the Response of Axially Loaded Pervious Concrete Piles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: EICP (enzyme induced carbonate precipitation) and MICP (microbially induced carbonate precipitation) treatments were applied through pervious concrete model piles to cement soil around the piles and enhance soil-pile ...
Cementation Stress Characteristic Curve for Sands Treated by Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been widely studied as an innovative method for ground improvement applications by taking advantage of the cementation effect of the porous geomaterial and thus enhancing ...
Field Measurements and Finite-Element Method Simulation of a Tunnel Shaft Constructed by Pneumatic Caisson Method in Shanghai Soft Ground
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Characterized by unmanned excavation and remote controlling, the new pneumatic caisson (NPC) method has advantages in deep excavation such as deep shield tunnel shafts and some underground construction close to the existing ...
