Reducing Volume Expansion of Steel Slag by Using a Surface Hydrophobic Waterproof Structure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reducing volume expansion of steel slag is a key problem for steel slag to be applied in asphalt concrete pavement. It not only avoids environmental damage caused by natural stone mining but also provides a cheap and ...
Finite-Element Model for Nailed Wood Joints under Reversed Cyclic Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a nonlinear finite-element model for predicting the load-slip response of a single-shear nailed wood joint under reversed cyclic loading. Of particular interest is the post-yielding region of the load-slip ...
Competitive Adsorption of Phenolic Compounds onto Activated Carbon Fibers in Fixed Bed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For a multicomponent competitive adsorption process, a mathematical model was built to describe the mass transfer kinetics in a fixed-bed adsorber packed with activated carbon fibers (ACFs). The effects of competitive ...
Finite-Element Model for Wood-Based Floors with Lateral Reinforcements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lateral reinforcements can enhance serviceability of wood-based floor systems. However, because of a lack of proper analysis models, the benefit from installing these components has not been fully recognized in floor design. ...
Prediction Formula for Temperature Gradient of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Member with an Arbitrary Inclination
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) have been used extensively as main members with different inclinations in bridge structures; however, investigations on the influence of member inclination on temperature gradient are ...
Utilization of CO2-Cured Waste Cement Powder to Enhance the Properties and Microstructure of Cement Mortar and Paste
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Utilization of waste concrete has been become an urgent requirement for sustainable development due to the huge amounts of construction waste. The most promising strategy is to treat construction wastes by CO2 curing. This ...
Numerical Simulations of Electromigration and Stressmigration Driven Void Evolution in Solder Interconnects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the effect of high current density on void formation and growth and relating the size of the void to the resulting electrical/mechanical failure is a critical need at the present ...
Heat Transfer Measurements in Rotating Blade–Shape Serpentine Coolant Passage With Ribbed Walls at High Reynolds Numbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow in the internal threepass serpentine rib turbulated passages of an advanced high pressure rotor blade is simulated on a 1:1 scale in the laboratory. Tests to measure the effect of rotation on the Nusselt number are ...
Heat Transfer in Rotating Multipass Rectangular Ribbed Channel With and Without a Turning Vane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper experimentally investigates the effect of a turning vane in hub region on heat transfer in a multipass rectangular channel with ribroughed wall at high rotation numbers. The experimental data were taken in the ...
Enhanced Effects of Tourmaline on Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor–Based Partial Nitrification Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compares two different carriers, polyurethane foam (PU) and polyurethane foam loaded with tourmaline (TPU), for the partial nitrification (PN) of supernatant from an anaerobic sludge digester using moving bed ...
