RISEffects of Randomness on Band Gap Formation in Models of Fiber-Reinforced Composite Panels Having Quasirandom Fiber Arrangements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Large-scale deterministic simulations are performed in order to observe the band gap formation in composite models having quasirandom fiber arrangements. Unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite ...
Three-Dimensional Multiple Scattering of Elastic Waves by Spherical Inclusions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper extends the scatterer polymerization methodology to three-dimensional multiple scattering of elastic waves by spherical inclusions. The methodology was originally developed for analyzing ...
Size Effect of Concrete Short Columns Confined with Aramid FRP Jackets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most previous studies on concrete short columns confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites were based on small-scale testing, and size effect of the columns still has not been studied thoroughly. In this study, ...
Experimental Investigation on Square High-Strength Concrete Short Columns Confined with AFRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental investigation on square high-strength concrete short columns confined with aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheets is carried out in this study. Nine plain concrete specimens and 54 wrapped concrete ...
Walkability, Safety, and Housing Values in Shrinking Cities: Spatial Hedonic Study in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Detroit
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The growing market demand for pedestrian and transit-oriented communities can be capitalized into higher housing values and can generate much-needed revenue for shrinking cities. Few studies, however, have examined ...
Measuring the Smart Growth Pattern for Medium-Sized Cities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: “Smart growth” is an urban planning concept, valuing long-range sustainability of the city’s growth over short-term expansion, its focus embracing the 3Es of evaluation dimensions: i.e., economic prosperity, social equity, ...
Improvement of Water Stability of Macroporous Polyurethane Mixture
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examined a method to improve the water stability of macroporous polyurethane mixtures. Poor water stability of these mixtures has become an obstacle to their popularization and practical application. The water ...
Experimental and Computational Studies on High-Strength Concrete Circular Columns Confined by Aramid Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the properties of high-strength concrete (HSC) circular columns confined by aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheets under axial compression. A total of 60 specimens were tested, ...
Model for Organizational Governance Structure Choices in Construction Joint Ventures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the recent trend of utilizing joint ventures (JVs) in construction, construction firms are faced with the challenges in managing construction JVs. Among those challenges, the choice of organizational governance ...
