RISProbabilistic Analysis on Stochastic Failure Modes of Reinforced Concrete Beams under Fatigue Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic analysis on the stochastic failure modes of reinforced concrete beams under fatigue loading according to a series of experimental tests done previously. The analysis is featured by a ...
Case Study of Ground Subsidence Caused by the Drying Effect of a Group of Australian Native Eucalypts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Expansive clay soils are subject to considerable volume changes due to seasonal variations in soil–water content. Its shrink–swell characteristics can lead to differential movements, which can cause damage to lightly ...

Stochastic Nonlinear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frames. II: Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental investigations on the stochastic nonlinear behavior of eight half-scale reinforced concrete (RC) frames with the same conditions in the companion paper indicates that the coupling effect between randomness and ...
Entropy Generation Analysis for Nanofluid Flow in Microchannels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Employing a validated computer simulation model, entropy generation is analyzed in trapezoidal microchannels for steady laminar flow of pure water and CuO-water nanofluids. Focusing on microchannel ...
Discussion: “Effects of Various Parameters on Nanofluid Thermal Conductivity” (Jang, S. P., and Choi, S. D. S., 2007, ASME J. Heat Transfer, 129, pp. 617–623)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a series of articles, Jang and Choi (1-3) listed and explained their effective thermal conductivity (keff) model for nanofluids. For example, in the 2004 article (1), they constructed a ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations on the stochastic nonlinear behavior of eight half-scale reinforced concrete (RC) frames with the same conditions in the companion paper indicates that the coupling effect between randomness and ...
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 ...
Prediction on Crack Propagation of Concrete due to Time-Dependent Creep under High Sustained Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the effects of sustained loading on crack propagation of concrete, three-point bending tests were conducted on prenotched concrete beam specimens under 90% and 95% of the ultimate load until failure. The ...
Experimental Investigation on Characteristics of Leak Noise in Gas Pipeline Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pipelines are essential elements in the daily operation of modern cities, but significant economic loss and environmental damage commonly occur because of pipeline leakage. The acoustic method has proven to be effective ...
