RISA Bibliometric Analysis on the Safety of Oil and Gas Pipelines: Research Trends and Perspectives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Oil and gas pipeline safety analyses aim to enhance the integrity management and operational safety of pipelines to prevent major incidents. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of research ...
New Technique for Frictional Contact on Crack Slip in the Extended Finite-Element Method Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The traditional extended finite-element method (XFEM) encounters some challenges in the problems of frictional contact because the contact forces acting on the interface of cracks are difficult to determine. In this paper, ...
Effective Energy Criterion for Collapse of Deteriorating Structural Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The collapse of building structures during earthquakes has drawn much attention to the safety assessment and seismic design of structures to prevent their collapse. From the perspective of the energy flow during a dynamic ...
Stochastic Modeling for Pavement Warranty Cost Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a cost estimation model for long-term pavement warranties with multiple distress indicators. One application area for such warranties involves performance-based specifications (PBSs). In contrast to ...
Multiscale Random Fields-Based Damage Modeling and Analysis of Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper provides a new approach to incorporating the stochastic nature of damage constitutive relations in the finite-element analysis of concrete structures. Within the framework of stochastic damage mechanics, the ...
Numerical Simulation of a Lab-Scale Molten-Salt External Solar Receiver and Its Experimental Validation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this work, a lab-scale external receiver with a xenon lamp set was designed to study optical and thermodynamic properties, and its benchmark was also introduced. Eighteen stainless-steel tubes were placed on the receiver ...
Experimental Investigation of Damage and Failure Modes in Stirrupless Reinforced Concrete Beams under Varied Thermal-Mechanical Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In light of the potential deviation in damage and failure modes of reinforced concrete components during a fire compared to their design expectations at room temperature, this study aims to comprehensively investigate the ...
Improving the Load-Carrying Capacity of FRP-to-Concrete Bonded Joints Using a Biaxial GFRP Interlayer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of externally bonded (EB) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a widely accepted technique. In these strengthened systems, debonding of the FRP ...
Multi-Feature Fusion and Visualization of Pavement Distress Images Based on Manifold Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For multi-feature fusion in automatic recognition of pavement distress images, we proposed a multi-feature fusion method based on manifold learning. In this method, the intrinsic features of pavement distress images are ...
A Dynamic Equilibrium–Based Damage Identification Method Free of Structural Baseline Parameters: Experimental Validation in a Two-Dimensional Plane Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A damage identification method named the pseudoexcitation (PE) approach was established previously, the principle of which resides on local examination of perturbation of structural dynamic equilibrium conditions. While ...
