RISUplift Capacity of Bored Piles in Calcareous Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The uplift capacity of bored piles in dense calcareous soils was examined by field tests at three sites in Kuwait. The nine test piles were 0.5 m in diameter and extended to a maximum depth of 15 m below the ground surface. ...
Aging Effects on Oil-Contaminated Kuwaiti Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large quantities of oil-contaminated sands resulted from the destruction of oil wells and the formation of oil lakes in Kuwait at the end of the Gulf War. A laboratory testing program was carried out to determine the ...
Settlement of Circular and Ring Plates in Very Dense Calcareous Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Plate‐loading tests were carried out on very dense calcareous sand for the construction of the new telecommunications center complex in downtown Kuwait City. The tests were conducted at the foundation level, which was ...
Land Subsidence in Arid Terrain: Methodology toward Risk Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Addressing land subsidence requires the identification of root causes, modeling its initiation failure modes, and managing this risk in a cost-effective manner. This paper presents a methodology for quantifying and managing ...
Geotechnical Properties of Oil-Contaminated Kuwaiti Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large quantities of oil-contaminated sands resulted from exploded oil wells, burning oil fires, the destruction of oil storage tanks, and the formation of oil lakes in Kuwait at the end of the Gulf War. An extensive ...
Closure to “Geotechnical Properties of Oil‐Contaminated Kuwaiti Sand” by Hasan A. Al‐Sanad, Walid K. Eid, and Nabil F. Ismael

Design and Evaluation of Generic Bump for Flow Control in a Supersonic Inlet Isolator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the geometry of a supersonic inlet isolator is modified by the introduction of a two-dimensional (2D) bump to control the complex lip shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI). The bump is of general ...
Effects of Surface Waviness on the Interaction of Oblique Shock Wave With Turbulent Boundary Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Present investigation deals with the interaction of an incident oblique shock wave on a turbulent boundary layer over a wavy surface. The oblique shock wave was generated by an 8 deg wedge in a freestream Mach number of ...
Tuning the Photocatalytic Performance of Tungsten Oxide by Incorporating Cu3V2O8 Nanoparticles for H2 Evolution Under Visible Light Irradiation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The green energy production through water splitting under visible light irradiation has become an emerging challenge in the 21st century. Photocatalysis, being a cost-competitive and efficient technique, has grabbed much ...
Effect of Parameters of Rotating Cylinders on the Heat Transfer Advancement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conjugate pure mixed convection in a differentially heated square cavity with two vertically placed heat conductive revolving cylinders has been analyzed in a computational approach applying the finite element method. This ...
