Energy and Exergy Analysis of China’s Distributed Combined Heating and Power with Heat-Pump Heating for Peak Shaving
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: China has been vigorously developing natural gas-based urban district heating (UDH) for years to reduce severe air pollution. In this paper, energy and exergy analysis methods are applied to distributed combined heating ...
Effects of Impeller Trimming Methods on Performances of Centrifugal Pump
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Process Knowledge Capture in BIM-Based Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Design Coordination Meetings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, building information modeling (BIM) has been increasingly applied in design coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems to enhance coordination and communication efficiency. While ...
Process-Oriented Approach of Teaching Building Information Modeling in Construction Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is widely accepted that the evolution of building information modeling (BIM) is increasingly affecting the roles of construction management professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, building information modeling (BIM) has been increasingly applied in design coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems to enhance coordination and communication efficiency. While ...
Shrinkage and Cracking Performance of PP/PVA Fiber-Reinforced 3D-Printed Mortar
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compared with conventional cast-in-place mortar materials, three dimensional (3D)-printed mortar has the characteristics of high cementitious material consumption, low aggregate-cement ratio, and large water evaporation ...
On the Study of Impact Plasto-Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Point Contact Problems Lubricated With Non-Newtonian Lubricant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the impact of a rigid ball on a substrate with lubricant in between is examined. A linear hardening model for the elastic/plastic substrate deformation is assumed. A power-law model is used to describe the ...
Thickness Design of PCC/FBC Composites for Secondary/County Roads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tests were conducted in the laboratory and field to determine the extent to which fluidized bed combustion (FBC) spent bed and pulverized coal combustion (PCC) fly ash, by products of the coal industry, can be used in ...
Discussion of “Damage Localization and Finite-Element Model Updating Using Multiresponse NDT Data” by M. Sanayei, E. S. Bell, C. N. Javdekar, J. L. Edelmann, and E. Slavsky
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Estimating Work Zone Road User Cost for Alternative Contracting Methods in Highway Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Highway construction often causes an additional road user cost (RUC) to motorists due to traffic flow interruption and congestion in work zones. Consequently, facility owners, such as the Florida Department of Transportation ...
