Early Termination Mechanism of Public–Private Partnership Transportation Projects with Government Guarantee
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Governments typically provide some form of guarantee to ensure the financial viability of public–private partnership (PPP) projects confronted with traffic demand shortage. Although a number of studies have analyzed the ...
Effect of the Internal Agency Problem on Risk-Sharing Incentive Contracts in Public–Private Partnership Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Through an appropriate risk-sharing arrangement between governments and private partners, public–private partnerships (PPPs) are justified because of their improved value for money (VFM). From the agency theory perspective, ...
Tie-Formation Mechanisms in Evolving Networks of Sponsors in Highway Public–Private Partnerships
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In public–private partnership (PPP) projects, private sponsors collaborate to manage and implement project tasks through shareholder agreements and subcontracts. It is important to recognize that relying exclusively on ...
Enhanced Mass-Transport Study of Fuel-Cell Gas Diffusion Layer under Nonuniform Assembly Force
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of nonuniform assembly forces on the mass transfer characteristics of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Initially, utilizing a solid mechanics model, the influence of assembly forces ...
Bearing Capacity of Nonhomogeneous Clay Layers under Embankments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The slip‐line method is used to calculate limit loads on layers of weak soil. A horizontal load component of arbitrary intensity is accounted for. The soil is considered cohesive, with the undrained shear strength increasing ...
Deformation Patterns of Reinforced Foundation Sand at Failure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: While the stability of foundation soils has been written about extensively, the ultimate loads on reinforced soils is a subject studied to a much lesser degree. There is convincing experimental evidence in the literature ...
Closure to “Bearing Capacity of Nonhomogeneous Clay Layers under Embankments” by Radoslaw L. Michalowski and Lei Shi

Bearing Capacity of Footings over Two-Layer Foundation Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The bearing capacity of strip footings over a two-layer foundation soil is considered. The kinematic approach of limit analysis is used to calculate the average limit pressure under footings. The method is applicable to ...
Closure to “Bearing Capacity of Footings over Two-Layer Foundation Soils” by Radoslaw L. Michalowski and Lei Shi

Start Limits and Positive Control of RBCC Inlet
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) inlet is always required to start at a relatively low Mach number in consideration of the fuel consumption in the ejector mode and the comprehensive engine performance throughout the ...
