RISImpact of Transportation Convenience, Housing Affordability, Location, and Schooling in Residence Choice Decisions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the impacts of housing affordability, which can be denoted as the ratio of housing price (HP) and monthly expense per person (EXP), travel time to the city center, distance to a subway station, ...
Combining BIM and Ontology to Facilitate Intelligent Green Building Evaluation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Green building evaluation is an effective measure to reflect the sustainability performance of buildings and is beneficial to improve the deteriorating environment. However, most evaluation tasks are conducted in a manual ...
Stability Analysis of Slopes Subjected to Transient Unsaturated Seepage Effect Considering Hydromechanical Coupling Effect
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Analyzing the stability of slopes during rainfall can be critical in preventing landslide disasters. In this study, on the basis of the limit analysis method, a novel method for computing the safety factor of slopes ...
Identification of Tunnel Settlement Caused by Land Subsidence in Soft Deposit of Shanghai
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper provides a straightforward way to evaluate tunnel settlement caused by land subsidence in the soft deposits of Shanghai. By analyzing field measurements of tunnel settlement and land subsidence, it was found ...
Effect of Overspeeding on the Lateral Stability of a Bus Running on a Curve
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A bus running on straight roads, general curves, or sharp curves is subjected to vehicle dynamics simulation tests under different overspeeding degrees to study the effects of different overspeeding degrees on driving ...
Centrifuge Modeling of Ground and Tunnel Responses to Nearby Excavation in Soft Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Excavations near an existing tunnel are frequently encountered in underground construction. The excavation–soil–tunnel interaction mechanism is not yet fully understood, notably the long-term behavior. This study carried ...
Spatiotemporal Variations in Shanghai Metro Commuting Flows during Rainfall Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Driven by both climate change and urbanization, extreme rainfall events are becoming more frequent and having an increasing impact on urban commuting. Using hourly rainfall data and “metro” origin–destination (OD) flow ...
Effect of Particle Shape on Soil Arching in the Pile-Supported Embankment by 3D Discrete-Element Method Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The particle shape plays an important role in controlling the behavior of granular material, thus needing to be considered in the formation and evolution of soil arching in the pile-supported embankment. Based on the ...
Soil Arching Effect Associated with Ground Movement and Stress Transfer Adjacent to Braced Excavation in Clayey Ground
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A field test for investigating the soil arching effect behind the diaphragm wall was carried out in an average 17-meter-deep, braced excavation in the normally-consolidated clayey ground. Horizontal and vertical ground ...
Ground Response to Horizontal Spoil Discharge Jet Grouting with Impacts on the Existing Tunnels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents an application of horizontal spoil discharge jet-grouting (SDJG) columns in soil improvement between the new undercrossing tunnels and the existing tunnels in Changsha, China. To investigate the impact ...
