RISInvestigation of Performance of Heat Pipe as Heat Exchanger Using Alternative Refrigerants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study was performed to investigate the thermal performance of heat pipes as a heat exchanger. A series of experiments was conducted using R410A, R134a, R22, and R407C as working fluids. The ...
Legal Requirements and Challenges for e-Business within the Single Electronic European Market
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The advancements in Information and Communication Technologies have not been fully exploited by industries despite the great potential they offer. A major initiative by the European Commission to establish a single electronic ...
Simulation of Concrete Paving Operations on Interstate-74
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this paper was to study and optimize the concrete paving operations taking place in the reconstruction project of Interstate-74 using computer simulation. To achieve this objective, field data were collected ...
Probabilistic Beam–Column Joint Model for Seismic Analysis of Concrete Frames
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Beam–column joints in concrete buildings are critical for structural integrity under earthquake loading. Thus, accurate beam–column joint nonlinear models are important in seismic assessment and design of buildings. Most ...
Side Load-Transfer Mechanisms in Drilled Shafts in Soft Argillaceous Rock
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastic-plastic axisymmetric finite-element analyses were performed to investigate the side load-transfer mechanism of drilled shafts socketed into cohesive intermediate geomaterials (very hard clays/very soft rocks). The ...
Legal Aspects of Information and Communication Technologies Implementation in the Turkish Construction Industry: Applicability of eLEGAL Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With increasing awareness of gains and importance of the strategic use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the implementation rate of ICTs in the construction sector is increasing. However, these technologies ...
Search Algorithm for Minimum Reliability Index of Earth Slopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In probabilistic slope stability analysis, the similarity and differences of the surface of minimum factor of safety (FS) and the surface of minimum reliability index (β) have not been investigated fully. Probabilistic ...
Optimum Design and Operation of Multiple Subunit Drip Irrigation Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A nonlinear model for the optimum design and operation of drip irrigation systems on flat terrain is presented in this paper. The analysis is based on dividing a field into subunits and evaluating various shift patterns ...
Experimental Investigation of Steel Beams with Mechanically Reduced Sections Strengthened with Basalt Fiber–Reinforced Polymers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel elements subjected to harsh environments can corrode and experience degradation in their performance, which could compromise the integrity of the structure. Ensuring the safety of corroded steel structures requires ...
