Intentions to Form Project Partnering in Hong Kong: Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Diffusion of project partnering in the construction industry is argued to be insufficient. One possible explanation is that organizations do not intend to form project partnering. Therefore, the current research aims at ...
Multiple Scattering of Elastic Waves by Parallel Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The formal solution resulting from the scattering of a plane, time-harmonic, compressional elastic wave impinged on a group of parallel circular cylindrical inclusions in a finite domain is ...
Dynamic Stresses in a Plate With Circular Holes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The formal solution of the problem of defraction of a plane, time-harmonic, compressional wave by a group of cavities in a thin elastic plate is obtained by the method of multiple scattering. ...
Rotational Compliance Measurements of a Flexible Plane Structure Using an Attached Beam-like Tip, Part 1: Analysis and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper describes a simple, indirect technique for measuring the rotational compliance of an attached thin-walled plane structure. The technique, called “Tip Excitation Technique (TET),” ...
On Dynamic Stress Concentration Around a Discontinuity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The redistribution of dynamic stresses due to the presence of a circular cylindrical discontinuity in an unbounded isotropic homogeneous elastic plate is studied. The source of excitation is a ...
Wave-Induced Seabed Response Around a Pipe Laid on a Poro-Elastic Seabed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stability of a pipeline has been extensively studied by coastal and marine geotechnical engineers in recent years. However, most previous investigations have been only concerned with the ...
Rotational Compliance Measurements of a Flexible Plane Structure Using an Attached Beam-like Tip, Part 2: Experimental Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental assessment of the Tip Excitation Technique (TET) introduced in a companion paper. The aim of the technique is to measure the rotational compliance of attached ...
Construction Partnering Process and Associated Critical Success Factors: Quantitative Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims at examining a customized model of construction partnering in order to highlight the relationships between the critical success factors and individual partnering process stages. It used two surveys (a simple ...
Dynamic Stresses Around Elliptical Discontinuities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence of an elliptical discontinuity on the stress distribution in an otherwise uninterrupted and unbounded elastic medium subjected to the passage of both P- and SV-waves is examined. ...
Land Development Regulations: Roadblock to Affordable Housing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Land development regulations in the state of New Jersey have been used to control development since the mid‐1970s. The demand for affordable housing in the state is reaching a critical period since the median price of a ...
