A Novel Air Curtain Mitigation System for a Toxic Gas Storage Tank
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A mitigation system is significant in that it blocks the flow of toxic gas and prevents the growth of hazardous areas, thereby securing sufficient evacuation time. A new air curtain mitigation system was developed to prevent ...
Correlation of the Pitting Fatigue Life of Bearings With Rolling Contact Rig Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The general method for correlating the fatigue pitting life of simple rolling elements with the life of bearings is discussed. A “correlation equation” is presented which permits the pitting ...
Use of an Infrared Joint Heater to Improve Longitudinal Joint Performance in Hot Mix Asphalt Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Longitudinal joint cracking is one of the most prevalent forms of distress in asphalt concrete pavements. The joint area does not achieve the same density as the mat due to an unconfined edge on the initial pass and a cold ...
Effect of Dispersion Homogeneity on Specific Heat Capacity Enhancement of Molten Salt Nanomaterials Using Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The specific heat capacity of a carbonate salt eutecticbased carbon nanotube nanomaterial was measured in present study. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to measure the specific heat capacity of the ...
Proportioning of Earthquake-Resistant RC Building Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple and efficient method is presented for proportioning of regular, moderate-rise reinforced concrete building structures. The method differs from conventional procedures in that member sizes are selected based on the ...
Book Reviews: Design of Seismic Isolated Structures—from Theory to Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Cultivating the Next Crop of Leaders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: After a brief survey of the setbacks awaiting firms that have not planned properly for leadership changes, a description is given of the mentoring programs in place at Stanley Consultants. Three programs are available, ...
Experimental Investigation Into Creep Buckling of a Stainless Steel Plate Column Under Axial Compression at Extremely High Temperatures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the creep buckling behavior of a stainless steel column under axial compressive loading at extremely high temperatures. Creep buckling failure time of a slender column with a rectangular cross ...
Enhanced Specific Heat Capacity of Molten Salt Based Carbon Nanotubes Nanomaterials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the specific heat capacity of a carbonate salt eutecticbased multiwalled carbon nanomaterial (or high temperature nanofluids). The specific heat capacity of the nanomaterials was measured ...
