RISEffect of Magnetized Water on Self-Compacted Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Chemical activation of geopolymer concrete is critical for improving its performance. The purpose of this research is to improve the chemical activation of self-compacted fly ash-based geopolymer concrete exposed to chlorides ...
Chloride Diffusivity of Magnetic Nanometakaolin Mortar in the Presence of Sulfates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of magnetic water (MW) on the chloride diffusivity of mortar exposed to 5% NaCl solution in the presence of various sulfate concentrations (2%–7%). Cement was replaced ...
Optimization of Plasma Spray Processing Parameters for Deposition of Nanostructured Powders for Coating Formation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When nanostructured powder particles are used for thermal spray coatings, the retention of the original nanostructure that is engineered into the raw stock is a principal objective, along with ...
Toward Simple Modeling Practices in the Complex Canadian Prairie Watersheds
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The prairie region in Canada has been characterized as a graveyard of hydrological models due to its challenging cold-regions processes and complex landscape with numerous land depressions that influence runoff pathways. ...
Design Basis for Stair Slabs Supported at Landing Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the development of a new design guideline for the stair slabs, supported on the structural member spanning at right angle to the direction of the flight. The study is based on finite-element analyses of ...
Design Provisions for Stair Slabs in the Bangladesh Building Code
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper deals with the current state of the building code provisions for the structural design of concrete stair slabs in general and those proposed for the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) in particular. The ...
A Preliminary Investigation of the Cooling of Electronic Components With Flat Plate Heat Sinks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flat rectangular plate heat sinks are often used to cool large electronic components by the combined effects of natural convection and thermal radiation. There is, however, a paucity of rational ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Performance of Plain Concrete Runway Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the causes of poor performance of plain cement concrete pavement, the most common type of construction for airfield pavements. Plain concrete pavements are generally cost-effective and durable. The ...
Optimal Irrigation Delivery System Design under Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of various types of uncertainty in the design of hydraulic structures in an open‐channel system for irrigation water delivery are investigated. Uncertainty due to ambiguity in the values of system physical and ...
