RISExperimental Research on the Impact of Driving Time on Commercial Driver’s Driving Ability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation focusing on fatigue driving in road safety was performed using the methodologies of human factors and experimental psychology. Commercial drivers of highway passenger transport were chosen as the study ...
Post-rehabilitation Cable Force Adjustment of the Tension Rocker Bearing in a PC Cable-stayed Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Taking the maintenance of a PC cable-stayed bridge as the background, a simulation and calculation analysis of construction control was conducted, and the scheme of stay cable force adjustment was optimized using GQJS ...
New Statistical Damage Theory–Based Creep Model for Asphalt Mixture
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The modified Burgers model was considered as the series connection between a Van Der Pool model and a nonlinear dashpot to draw a conclusion that the process of damage evolution only results in a decrease in dashpot ...
Geometrically Nonlinear Static Analysis of an Embedded Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube and the van der Waals Interaction
Publisher:
Abstract: On the basis of Reissner’s mixed variational theorem (RMVT), rather than the principle of virtual displacement (PVD), the authors presented a nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) for the geometrically nonlinear static ...
Accounting for Model Errors in Ensemble Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study addresses the issue of model errors with the ensemble Kalman filter. Observations generated from the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis fields are assimilated into a low-resolution AGCM. Without an effort to account for model ...
Computational Model for the Flexural Capacity and Stiffness of Eccentric RHS X-Connections under Brace Out-of-Plane Bending Moment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper aims to establish a precise and concise formula for quantifying the out-of-plane flexural capacity and initial stiffness of unstiffened eccentric steel rectangular hollow section (RHS) X-connections. In this ...
Effectiveness of Negative Stiffness System in the Benchmark Structural-Control Problem for Seismically Excited Highway Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effectiveness of a novel negative stiffness device (NSD) and damper system for reduction of the seismic response of highway bridges was investigated in this study. To this end, a Phase II benchmark highway bridge was ...
Dynamic Modified Model for RC Columns Based on Experimental Observations and Bayesian Updating Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a probabilistic framework for constructing a dynamic modified model for RC columns was developed based on dynamic loading test results and the Bayesian updating method. The influences of strain rate on the ...
Simplified Collapse-Prevention Evaluation for the Reserve System of Low-Ductility Steel Concentrically Braced Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Low-ductility steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are widely used in buildings as a lateral resistance system in seismic regions around the world due to their high stiffness and strength. Steel CBF buildings have ...
Woodbury Approximation Method for Structural Nonlinear Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As an exact method, the Woodbury formula is used to solve local material nonlinearity problems in structural analysis, in which the calculation and factorization of the global stiffness matrix are avoidable compared to the ...
