RISPerformance-Based Reliability-Centered Maintenance Planning for Hospital Facilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The deteriorating state of the built environment has affected numerous sectors, and hospitals are no exception. Hospitals are relatively unique compared with other facilities because of the complexity of their systems and ...
Optimal Sprinkler Spacing for a Mini Center Pivot System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper offers a new model for determining the optimal spacing of mini center pivot system (MCPS) nozzles for high water application uniformity. The strengths of the study included an in-depth analysis of optimum nozzle ...
Transverse Posttensioning Design of Adjacent Precast Solid Multibeam Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Adjacent precast, prestressed multibeam bridges have often been used for medium- and short-span bridges. However, there have been longitudinal cracking problems in shear keys and overlays commonly seen on some adjacent ...
Internal Pipe Area Reconstruction as a Tool for Blockage Detection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several pipeline blockage detection methods assume blockages have a regular geometric shape; that is, the blocked section is a pipe of smaller diameter than the original. These methods require a priori knowledge of the ...

Cycling Performances and Failure Modes for AGM and Standard Flooded Lead Acid Batteries under Partial State of Charge Mode
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, the failure mode of the lead acid battery under 17.5% depth of discharge was predicted. Both the developed lead acid absorbent glass ma (AGM) battery for microhybrid applications and the standard flooded ...

Cost Overrun Risk Assessment for Healthcare Projects: A Modified Fuzzy Group Decision-Making Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the myriad risk factors contributing to cost overruns in healthcare construction projects. It determined the impact of managerial, financial, workerpower, and environmental considerations, focusing ...
The Fennec Automatic Weather Station (AWS) Network: Monitoring the Saharan Climate System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Fennec automatic weather station (AWS) network consists of eight stations installed across the Sahara, with four in remote locations in the central desert, where no previous meteorological observations have existed. The ...
