RISEvaluating the Seismic Behavior of Segmental Unbounded Posttensioned Concrete Bridge Piers Using Factorial Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
When to Charge a Small-Range Battery Electric Vehicle: Refining Charging Strategies Using a Scenario-Based Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Small-range battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with driving ranges less than 200 km, are susceptible to charging defects. This study applied a scenario-based approach by modeling a cost function to recommend an optimal ...
Scale Dependence of Dispersion Coefficient for Solute Transport in Porous Media Using Image Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scale dependence of dispersion coefficient (D) in the advection-dispersion equation (ADE) for solute transport in porous media was investigated by a series of experiments using image analysis. A hexahedral plexiglass box ...
Use of Factor Analysis to Characterize Arterial Geometry and Predict Hemodynamic Risk: Application to the Human Carotid Bifurcation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The detailed geometry of atherosclerosis-prone vascular segments may influence their susceptibility by mediating local hemodynamics. An appreciation of the role of specific geometric variables is ...
Life Cycle Thinking–Based Decision Making for Bridges under Seismic Conditions. I: Methodology and Framework
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bridges are an integral part of a country’s transportation infrastructure system. Earthquake-induced damages to bridges could result in fatalities and injuries, disturbances to the transportation infrastructure system, and ...
Coupling Relationship between Capabilities and Benefits of Lean Construction for Precast Buildings from a Multivariable Moderation Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The capabilities (e.g., basic capabilities, professional capabilities, and lean consciousness of workers) and benefits (e.g., time, economy, and quality benefits) of lean construction in some precast building ...
Investigation and Experimental Verification of a Constitutive Model Considering Structural Characteristics of Soft Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mechanical behaviors of structured soft clay in consolidation tests and undrained triaxial shear tests were investigated, revealing evident structural properties of undisturbed Ningbo clay. Based on the experimental ...
Hydrodynamic and Hydrological Modeling of the Poyang Lake Catchment System in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a distributed catchment-hydrology model and a physically based lake hydrodynamic model were used to simulate the large-scale and highly dynamic lake catchment system of Poyang Lake, in the middle reach of ...
Assessment on Combustion and Emissions of Diesel Engine Fueled with Partially Hydrogenated Biodiesel
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Via partial hydrogenation, polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in biodiesel were largely converted to monounsaturated and saturated FAMEs, which brought the following changes in fuel properties: lower iodine ...
Multi-Scale and Multi-Region Pore Structure Analysis on Sandy Conglomerate Whole Core With Digital Rock Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on industrial computed tomography (CT), the whole core sandy conglomerate is scanned with a resolution of 0.5 mm/voxel, and the representative debris region and filling region subsample is selected to be scanned with ...
