Analysis of Characteristics of Electrically Conductive Asphalt Concrete Prepared by Multiplex Conductive Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of electrically conductive asphalt concrete (ECAC) by adding multiplex electrically conductive materials. First, it is proved that all the mechanical ...
Deflection-Based Bearing Capacity of Suction Caisson Foundations of Offshore Wind Turbines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The monocaisson foundation has become an important choice with the increasing demand of offshore wind turbines constructed in silt and sand seabeds in China. To guarantee the normal operation of the wind turbine, the angular ...
Assessment on Steel Slag–Based SMA-5 and AC-5 Asphalt Mixtures for Maintenance and Induction Heating
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Maintenance and the deicing of pavement are of significance for pavement service life and safety. This study designed asphalt cement (AC)-5 and stone matrix asphalt (SMA)-5 asphalt mixtures with steel fiber and steel slag, ...
Parameters Design of TMD Mitigating Vortex-Induced Vibration of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge Deep-Water Nonnavigable Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the parameters design of the tuned mass damper (TMD) for mitigating the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long-span bridges, which includes the selection of vortex-induced force models and robustness ...
Mitigation of Vortex-Induced Vibration in Bridges Using Semiactive Tuned Mass Dampers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With increases in the span length, the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in bridges often occurs at modest wind velocities. The tuned mass damper (TMD) is very effective in mitigating the VIV, while robustness is a major ...
Laboratory Investigation on Strength Characteristics of Expansive Soil Treated with Jute Fiber Reinforcement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on an extensive list of research work, expansive soil is renowned for its swelling-shrinkage property. Despite the wealth of research, the strength characteristics of expansive soil, which are more complicated than ...
Development and Validation of a Nonlinear Model to Describe the Tension–Compression Behavior of Rubber-Like Base Isolators
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fractional-order derivative Zener (FDZ) model can reasonably predict the frequency dependence behavior of rubber-like materials. However, its capability to capture nonlinear behaviors is limited. In our previous work, ...
