RISNew Type of Super-Lightweight Magnesium Phosphate Cement Foamed Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most previous investigations on foam concrete have been confined to portland cement and the density range of
Flood Risk Assessment, Future Trend Modeling, and Risk Communication: A Review of Ongoing Research
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flooding is one of the most devastating and deadly natural disasters. Every year, millions of people are affected by flooding worldwide, with massive economic losses that average around $5 billion annually. Over the ...
Three-Dimensional Positioning Using SPOT Stereostrips with Sparse Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes an experiment for a proposed scheme using on-board satellite data to perform three-dimensional positioning for a pair of SPOT stereostrips. Based on the sampling geometry of French SPOT satellite images, ...
Seismic Performance Assessment and Loss Estimation of Steel Diagrid Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to their aesthetics and structural advantages, diagrid structures have been used for several mid- to high-rise buildings around the world. However, their seismic performance, collapse fragility, and resilience are yet ...
An Enhanced Predictive Method for Large Droplet Breakage Based on the Discrete Particle Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In high-speed flows, a single droplet undergoes fragmentation, yielding numerous child droplets. Conventional breakup models usually group these droplets into a single parcel, neglecting the postbreakup spatial distribution. ...
Robot Path Planning in Uncertain Environments: A Language Measure Theoretic Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of goaldirected robot path planning in the presence of uncertainties that are induced by bounded environmental disturbances and actuation errors. The offline infinitehorizon optimal plan ...
A Numerical Method for Simulating Nonlinear Mechanical Responses of Tensegrity Structures Under Large Deformations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An efficient numerical method is developed to analyze the mechanical responses of tensegrity structures subjected to various actuations that lead to large and highly nonlinear (e.g., hardening or softening) deformations. ...
Exploration of the MODIS Cloud-Top Property Products for the Investigation of Equatorial Wave Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations provide an unprecedented opportunity for studying cloud macrophysical (cloud-top pressure, temperature, height, and phase), microphysical (effective ...
Test of the Fixed Anvil Temperature Hypothesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he fixed anvil temperature (FAT) hypothesis is examined based on the Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-based cloud-top temperature (CTT) in conjunction with the tropical atmospheric profiles and ...
Performance Evaluation of Water Distribution Systems and Asset Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water distribution systems (WDS) are among the most critical civil infrastructure systems. A reliable and safe water supply is essential for the prosperity and continued well-being of society. Hence, adequate maintenance, ...
