Urban Heat Islands during Heat Waves: A Comparative Study between Boston and Phoenix
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Analysis of Shaft Resistance Setup of Driven Piles in Soft Sensitive Clays Considering Soil Consolidation and Creep
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soft sensitive clays around a pile shaft experience destructuration during pile installation, excess pore pressure (u) dissipation, and creep after pile installation, but their influence on pile shaft resistance is difficult ...
Properties of Cement Mortars Subject to Varied Carbonation Treatments at Early Ages
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Carbonation of cement-based composites at early ages has attracted great interest to achieve mineral CO2 sequestration, as well as to improve the properties. In this study, carbonation of cement mortars of interest ...
Limit Equilibrium Analysis of Slope Stability with Coupling Nonlinear Strength Criterion and Double-Strength Reduction Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, the strength parameters are reduced by a uniform coefficient for the traditional strength-reduction technique in the slope stability analysis. However, observations proved that the contributions of the strength ...

Abstract: Currently, the strength parameters are reduced by a uniform coefficient for the traditional strength-reduction technique in the slope stability analysis. However, observations proved that the contributions of the strength ...
Determination of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Asphalt Concrete with Random Aggregate Microstructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper intends to develop and validate an innovative method to determine the effective thermal conductivity of asphalt concrete considering thermal properties of individual components and volumetric compositions. ...
Catalytic Ozonation of Ciprofloxacin with Cu–Al Layered Double Hydroxides Based on Response Surface Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cu–Al layered double hydroxides (Cu–Al LDHs) were prepared by coprecipitation and used as a catalyst in heterogeneous a catalytic ozonation of ciprofloxacin. The structure of the synthesized Cu–Al LDHs was investigated by ...
Spatial–Temporal Variation of Soil Sliding Probability in Cohesive Slopes with Spatially Variable Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Landslide is a common and severe geohazard that may pose significant risk to adjacent structures such as buildings and buried pipelines. Identification of the failure slip surface is critical for the assessment and management ...
Improved Calculation Method for the Internal Force of h-Type Prestressed Anchor Cable Antislide Piles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An h-type prestressed anchor cable antislide pile is suggested for dealing with large-scale landslide disasters. At present, the internal force calculation of h-type antislide piles includes a great deal of cumbersome and ...
Investigation of the Load–Settlement Response of Piles in Sand Using an Interface Constitutive Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A semianalytical approach has been developed to investigate the nonlinear load–settlement behavior of bored single piles and pile groups embedded in sands. A more rigorous load-transfer function for the pile shaft, adopted ...
