3D Coupled Mechanical and Hydraulic Modeling of GESC-Supported Embankments under Cyclic Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To date, the traffic-induced dynamic behavior of geosynthetic-encased stone column-supported embankments (GESC) under traffic cyclic loads accompanied by embankment consolidation has not been well studied. Three-dimensional ...
Coupling Relationship of Freight Transportation Activities and Transport Infrastructure: Case Study of Yunnan, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Transportation infrastructure has a positive impact on freight transportation activities when it has excellent economic and social performances. At the current stage of economic development in China, sustainable development ...
Systemic Estimation of Dam Overtopping Probability: Bayesian Networks Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dam overtopping is one of the major causes of dam breach accidents. Many studies have focused on the estimation of dam overtopping probability. However, the occurrence of a dam overtopping incident is subject to many factors ...
Simulation Study on Route Choice Behavior under Multi-Source Travel Information
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To determine the route choice behavior of a driver under a scenario with multiple-source travel information, the features of subjective travel time prediction were analyzed, and then a conceptual model of prediction was ...
Vertical Load Transfer for Bored Piles Buried in Cohesive Intermediate Geomaterials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In developing a vertical load transfer function for bored piles buried in cohesive intermediate geomaterials (IGM), it is essential to understand the shear behavior of the rough sidewall. The interface between the cohesive ...
Projection of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration under Future Climate Change in Poyang Lake Watershed, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) is of great importance in assessing the potential impacts of climate changes on hydrological cycles and the global energy balance. The spatiotemporal change of ET0 and the drought ...
Influence of POI Accessibility on Temporal–Spatial Differentiation of Housing Prices: A Case Study of Hangzhou, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: People usually take point of interest (POI) accessibility into consideration when choosing a residential location. Based on a digital map and actual traffic time costs, this paper measures the accessibility of residential ...
A Positive Low Cloud–Sea Surface Temperature Feedback in the East Asian Marginal Seas during El Niño Mature Winters and Their Following Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the winter and subsequent spring of an El Niño year, the East Asian marginal sea (EAMS) exhibits positive sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) and fewer low clouds, while the western North Pacific experiences ...
Response of Inclined Loaded Pile in Layered Foundation Based on Principle of Minimum Potential Energy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the responses of inclined loaded piles in layered foundations, this paper proposes a generalized solution based on the principle of minimum potential energy. First, the energy equations for an inclined loaded ...
Underwater Explosion Resistance Performance of an Old Gravity Dam without Good Longitudinal-Joint Connection Integrity: Coupled Acoustic-Structural Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A gravity dam monolith bounded by the transverse contraction joints on both sides is usually recognized as an independent element in various dynamic analyses. However, in most cases a gravity dam monolith is actually ...
