RISBelow-Ground Performance of Rigid Polystyrene Foam Insulation: Review of Effective Thermal Resistivity Values Used in ASCE Standard 32-01—Design and Construction of Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective (design) thermal resistivity values for use of rigid, cellular polystyrene foam insulation in below-ground frost-protection applications play an important role in the success of the ASCE 32-01 standard. The ASCE ...
Comparison of Methods Used to Create Estimate of Air-Freezing Index
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A climatography of 100-year return-period air-freezing indexes (AFIs) has been developed to accompany recommendations for the design of frost-protected shallow foundations (FPSFs) in the U.S. residential construction ...
Performance of Helical Disk Ground Anchors for Anchorage of Manufactured Housing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of conventional (helical disk) ground anchors is important to the overall quality and safety of manufactured home installations and other applications requiring anchorage to ground. This paper presents ...
