RISReal-Time Water Treatment Process Control with Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation processes involve many complex physical and chemical phenomena and thus are difficult to model for process control with traditional methods. Proposed is the use of a neural ...
BOT-Based Approaches to Infrastructure Development in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Continuous rapid economic growth in the past two decades places heavy demands on infrastructure facilities in China, which in turn provides attractive but often challenging development opportunities for foreign investors. ...
Hong Kong Experience in Managing BOT Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: BOT (build-operate-transfer) project delivery systems have provided effective routes to mobilize private sector funds, innovative technologies, management skills, and operational efficiencies for public infrastructure ...
Simplified Calculation Approach for Settlement of Single Pile and Pile Groups
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a simple analytical approach for nonlinear analyses of the load-displacement response of single piles and pile groups. Two models were adopted in the proposed approach. One model is based on a hyperbolic ...
Experimental Study of the Effect of Excavation on Existing Loaded Piles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Excavation beneath an existing building to add a new basement is an effective mean to expand underground space that caters to the increased need of space in urban areas. Because piles serve as load-bearing structures in ...
Semianalytical Solution for Long-Term Settlement of a Single Pile Embedded in Fractional Derivative Viscoelastic Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a semianalytical solution to analyze the long-term settlement of a single pile embedded in fractional derivative viscoelastic soils under time-dependent loading. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) ...
Model Test Study on Bearing Capacity of Nonuniformly Arranged Pile Groups
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The uniform arrangement of pile groups widely used in practice often causes obvious differential settlement of pile foundations. To decrease differential settlement of pile groups, individual piles nonuniformly arranged ...
Integrated Thermal Protection System Design for Hypersonic Vehicle Based on New Thermal–Mechanical Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the development of hypersonic vehicles, considerable attention has been paid to thermal protection systems (TPSs). Among the different types of TPS, integrated TPS (ITPS) has attracted extensive interest because of ...
Effects of Gas Rarefaction on Dynamic Characteristics of Micro Spiral-Grooved Thrust Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of gas-rarefaction on dynamic characteristics of micro spiral-grooved-thrust-bearing are studied. The Reynolds equation is modified by the first order slip model, and the corresponding ...
An Efficient Hybrid Method for Multibody Dynamics Simulation Based on Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an efficient hybrid method for dynamic analysis of a flexible multibody system. This hybrid method is the combination of a penalty and augmented Lagrangian formulation with ...
