Tendon Model for Nonlinear Analysis of Externally Prestressed Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study describes a nonlinear analysis model developed for externally prestressed structures. This model is capable of simulating the slip of the tendon on the deviator and the friction at the interface of the ...
Tendon Model for Nonlinear Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A tendon model based on the finite-element method, that can represent the interaction between tendon and concrete of the prestressed concrete member, is proposed. Especially for multitendon cases, this model is capable of ...
Effects of Enriched Oxygen and Nitrogen Intake on Combustion Process and Emission Features in a Diesel Engine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Feasibility Study on Novel Fire-Resistant Coating Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Over the last few decades, wildfires in the United States have caused severe damage and property losses. As more houses are being built in areas prone to wildfire, enhancing the fire resistance of structures and buildings ...
Combustion Cycle-by-Cycle Variations in a Common Rail Direct Injection Engine Fueled with Dimethyl Carbonate–Diesel Blend
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In consideration of the multiple split injection, heavy exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) atmosphere, high latent heat of vaporization of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and low cetane number, the combustion variations of both ...
Sparse and Low-Overlapping Point Cloud Registration Network for Indoor Building Environments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Registration aims at merging multiple scans to cover all scenes of a large environment. Thus, it is crucial to many civil infrastructure applications based on three-dimensional (3D) models. However, in many real-world ...
Identifying Unsafe Behavior of Construction Workers: A Dynamic Approach Combining Skeleton Information and Spatiotemporal Features
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Vision-based methods for action recognition are valuable for supervising construction workers’ unsafe behaviors. However, current monitoring methods have limitations in extracting dynamic information about workers. Identifying ...
All-Perovskite Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Synthesis and Characterization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Strontium- and magnesium-doped lanthanum gallate (LSGM) has been considered as a promising electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems in recent years. In this work synthesis, electrochemical ...
Analytical Study on Heat Transfer of a Tunnel Lining-Rock-Insulation Structure in Cold Regions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In cold regions, the flow of outside air into a tunnel often causes freeze–thaw damage to the surrounding rock, and insulation methods are usually adopted to avoid this damage. In this study, the heat transfer in a multilayer ...
Supported Nafion Membrane for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performances of direct methanol fuel cells are largely dependent on the methanol crossover, while the amount of methanol crossover is reported to strongly rely on membrane materials and ...
