RISPore Pressure Dissipation Induced by High-Velocity Impacts of a Portable Free-Fall Penetrometer in Clays
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In situ pore pressure dissipation in soil primarily depends on the coefficient of consolidation and permeability of the soil. This study represents an initial effort to investigate pore pressure dissipation induced by ...
Optimal Performance Threshold Determination for Highway Asset Interventions: Analytical Framework and Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Civil asset managers continue to seek appropriate thresholds of asset performance for applying standard interventions. Recognizing that between the two extremes of profligacy and parsimony there exists a certain optimal ...
Scale and Condition Economies in Asset Preservation Cost Functions: Case Study Involving Flexible Pavement Treatments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Estimates of planning-level treatment costs are vital inputs for preservation project budgeting, prioritization, and programming in highway asset management. However, with the paucity of analytical research on highway asset ...
Evaluating the Cost Effectiveness of Flexible Rehabilitation Treatments Using Different Performance Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At a certain point in the life of a flexible pavement, rehabilitation is required to improve pavement condition and to defer reconstruction. Pavement managers seek the best rehabilitation treatment on the basis of cost ...
Comprehensive Evaluation of Machine Learning Techniques for Hydrological Drought Forecasting
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Drought is among the most hazardous climatic disasters that significantly influence various aspects of the environment and human life. Qualitative and reliable drought forecasting is important worldwide for effective ...
Big Data Analytics System for Costing Power Transmission Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Inaccurate cost estimates have significant impacts on the final cost of power transmission projects and erode profits. Methods for cost estimation have been investigated thoroughly, but they are not used widely in practice. ...
Fractional Propagation of Short Light Pulses in Monomode Optical Fibers: Comparison of Beta Derivative and Truncated M-Fractional Derivative
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study is dedicated to the computation and analysis of solitonic structures of a nonlinear Sasa–Satsuma equation that comes in handy to understand the propagation of short light pulses in the monomode fiber optics with ...
Insolvency of Small Civil Engineering Firms: Critical Strategic Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Critical Success Factors for Ensuring Bankable Completion Risk in PFI/PPP Megaprojects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates project financiers' perspectives on the bankability of completion risk in private finance initiative and public–private partnership (PFI/PPP) megaprojects. Using a mixed methodology approach, focus ...
Performance Evaluation of an Evacuated Flat-Plate Collector System for Domestic Hot Water Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rapid population growth and increasing energy demand in developing countries are the key drivers behind rising concerns such as energy poverty and environmental degradation. Harnessing solar energy can help the developing ...
