Finite-Element Analysis on the Effect of Subsoil in Reinforced Piled Embankments and Comparison with Theoretical Method Predictions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element (FE) analysis of the effect of subsoil in a reinforced piled embankment and compares the findings with predictions from a theoretical method. It shows that the subsoil can carry as much ...
Rapid Heating of Gas/Small Particle Mixture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The concept of using a mixture of particles and air as a medium to absorb radiative energy has been proposed for various applications. In this paper, carbon particles mixed with gas form a ...
Experiments and Analysis on the Molten Salt Direct Absorption Receiver Concept
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents results of experiments on the Direct Absorption Receiver (DAR) concept using molten salt as the working fluid. The DAR concept may result in a solar central receiver that ...
Locational Characteristics of Firms in the Business Service Industry in Airport Economic Zones: Case of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Airports are important components in urban economies. With the rapid growth in civil aviation, airport economic zones (AEZs) have been established in China since the 199s, attracting airport-related firms. However, hitherto, ...
