RISSimultaneous Removal of Naphthalene and Sulfur Dioxide using Surfactant
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Anionic surfactant was added during absorption to investigate the solubility of vapor phase naphthalene and
Real-Option Valuation of Build-Operate-Transfer Infrastructure Projects under Performance Bonding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study assesses the effect of performance bonding on the valuation of a build-operate-transfer (BOT) project by extending the classical Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) call option model. As common features in BOT contracts, ...
Size Distributions and Seasonal Variations of Water-Soluble Inorganic Particulate Matter at a Suburban Site in Nanjing, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Size-resolved aerosol mass concentrations and concentrations of inorganic water-soluble ions (WSIs) were measured in four seasons, from December 22, 2016 to November 28, 2017, in Nanjing, China. Water-soluble ions were the ...
Stability Study of Crrel Permafrost Tunnel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Underground excavated openings in permafrost can have significant ground stability problems if the thermal regime of the area is disturbed. Other factors influencing ground stability besides temperature variation include ...
Water-Circulating Aerator: Optimizing Structure and Predicting Water Flow Rate and Oxygen Transfer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Thermal stratification is a common phenomenon in deep lakes and reservoirs, which often results in water-quality deterioration, including such problems as hypolimnetic anoxia, the release of pollutants from sediments, and ...
Real-Time Forecast of Reservoir Inflow Hydrographs Incorporating Terrain and Monsoon Effects during Typhoon Invasion by Novel Intelligent Numerical-Statistic Impulse Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study develops an original methodology for forecasting real-time reservoir inflow hydrographs during typhoons, taking advantage of meteoro-hydrological methods such as analysis of typhoon hydrographs, numerical typhoon ...
Spatially Subsidized Benefits-Based Spatial Decision for Affordable Housing: Prototype and Case Study in China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Chinese cities have experienced unprecedented growth in the past few decades. In this context, the rapid rise of housing prices in Chinese cities makes the affordability of homeownership one of the biggest challenges related ...
Estimating Incident Queue Impacts with and without a Traffic Surveillance System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the needs of assessing the time-varying queue length for incident traffic management, such imperative information has not yet been available in practice, due partly to the lack of reliable sensor data on many ...
Spatial Electrostrictive Actuations of Flexible Circular Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is aimed to study dynamic actuation of circular tubular shell structures coupled with distributed electrostrictive actuator segments. A mathematical model of the hybrid elastic/electrostrictive ...
Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Proposed Lap-Spliced Intermediate Hoops
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Two types of lap-spliced intermediate hoops were proposed to address the construction difficulty encountered for conventional intermediate hoops or stirrups used in the plastic hinge regions of beams of special moment-resisting ...
