Numerical Investigation into Hydrodynamic Effects on the Seismic Response of Complex Hollow Bridge Pier Submerged in Reservoir: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrodynamic effects are concerns in the seismic analysis of bridges with complex hollow piers submerged in a reservoir. In this study, potential-based fluid elements were employed to set up a three-dimensional numerical ...
Relationship between Waterway Depth and Low-Flow Water Levels in Reaches below the Three Gorges Dam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study analyzes low-flow water levels and expansion of waterway depths in the Yangtze River. It focuses on waterways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, known as the Golden Waterway, which are key ...
Aerodynamic Effects of Viaduct-Cutting Connection Section on High-Speed Railway by Wind Tunnel Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The wind environment and aerodynamic characteristics of vehicles are easily affected by the structural form of the railway. To investigate the aerodynamic effects of viaduct-cutting connection sections on vehicles, models ...
Wind Tunnel Study of a Sudden Change of Train Wind Loads due to the Wind Shielding Effects of Bridge Towers and Passing Trains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With crosswind actions, the wind loads on trains can change dramatically as the trains pass through the wake of bridge towers or when two trains pass each other, which will influence the stability of trains and the comfort ...
Evaluation of Arc Stability in Double-Wire DP-GMAW of Aluminum Alloy Based on U-I Graph
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Severe arc interference in double-wire double pulsed gas metal arc welding (DP-GMAW) can affect the stability of the welding process. In this study, voltage and current waveforms during double-wire DP-GMAW of aluminum (Al) ...
Response Characteristics of Gabion Wall under Large TNT-Equivalent Explosives
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Owing to their convenient transportation, quick assembly, and high cost performance, gabion walls are widely used in the protection of critical infrastructure and personnel from explosions. To study the damage and response ...
The Circumglobal Transport of Massive African Dust and Its Impacts on the Regional Circulation in Remote Atmosphere
