Particulate Size Distribution from Diesel–Dimethyl Ether Dual Fuel Premixed Compression Ignition Combustion Engine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Particulate matter (PM) emission has been a concern in recent years because of its impact on the atmospheric environment and human health. Recently the dual-fuel premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion ...
Perchlorate Removal Using a Minimized Dosage of Electrodeposited Zero-Valent Iron
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study attempted to develop an effective alternative to remove perchlorate (
Strength and Dilatancy Behaviors of Dense Modeled Rockfill Material in General Stress Space
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The strength and dilatancy behaviors of modeled dense rockfill material were systematically investigated through a series of true triaxial compression tests at different minor principal stress and intermediate principal ...
Aerodynamic Effects Caused by Trains Entering Tunnels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increase in train speed, the aerodynamics in tunnels is emerging. In recent years, we have carried out a few full-scale tests about tunnel aerodynamics, and the law of influence of train speed on pressure change, ...
Transitional Behaviors in Well-Graded Coarse Granular Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Reduce Bus Bunching with a Real-Time Speed Control Algorithm Considering Heterogeneous Roadway Conditions and Intersection Delays
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates bus bunching issues encountered with a single bus line. A real-time speed control model was proposed with the objective of minimizing variations in bus headway. Three cases of a typical road ...
Controlling Surface Chemical States of Halloysite Aerogel for Concrete Composites with Improved Thermal Insulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The stability and dispersion of aerogel in concrete is the key to evaluation of the thermal insulation performance of the aerogel/concrete system. This study focuses on the structural stability of aerogel under the effect ...
Quantifying the Impact of Compounding Influencing Factors to the Water Level Decline of China’s Largest Freshwater Lake
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As a large open lake that connects to the lower Yangtze River, the Poyang Lake, China, has persisted dramatic water level decline since 2003. For better management of lake water resources and ecosystem, this study ...
Effect of Intermediate Principal-Stress Ratio on Particle Breakage of Rockfill Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Novel Approach to Determine Spinning Satellites’ Attitude by RCS Measurements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel approach for determining the three-dimensional (3D) attitude of on-orbit satellites in a spin condition using radar cross-section (RCS) measurements. The core idea of the approach lies in the ...
