Integrating Double-Skin Façades and Mass Dampers for Structural Safety and Energy Efficiency
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Applying Concept Similarity to the Evaluation of Common Understanding in Multidisciplinary Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The success of an architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) project largely depends on the effective collaboration of project participants. This characteristic of the industry requires that AEC education shall ...
Stability of Unlined Rectangular Tunnels in Rock Masses Subjected to Surcharge Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the stability of unlined rectangular tunnels in rock masses subjected to surcharge loading using adaptive finite element limit analysis based on the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion. Both ...
Adaptive Experimental Design of Real-Time Hybrid Simulation for Parameter Calibration of Rate-Dependent Devices toward Optimal Response Prediction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) provides a cyber-physical testing method for system evaluation of global or local system evaluation of civil subjects to dynamic loading. Physical testing of experimental substructures ...
Expressway Traffic Incident Detection Using a Deep Learning Approach Based on Spatiotemporal Features with Multilevel Fusion
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The development of an efficient traffic incident detection system is essential for road safety risk warning and active safety control. Despite the fact that a large amount of traffic data can be collected from various ...
Assessment of Transverse Deck Cracking in Bridges during Staged Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Staged construction is often used for bridges, in which a portion of a bridge remains open to traffic while another portion is closed for construction. Although staged construction reduces delays and the need for detours, ...
Stability of Asymmetric Parallel Tunnels in Cohesive-Frictional Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, finite-element limit analysis (FELA) in conjunction with nonlinear programming was developed and applied to evaluate the stability of asymmetric parallel circular tunnels in cohesive-frictional soils subjected ...
Effect of Internal Curing with Superabsorbent Polymers on the Compressive Strength and Shrinkage of Concrete with Natural Volcanic Ash
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The abundant natural volcanic ash (NVA) in East Africa is a prospective supplementary cementitious material that may be used to produce green and economical railway concrete. To mitigate the shrinkage of concrete with NVA, ...
Optimized Thermoelectric Module-Heat Sink Assemblies for Precision Temperature Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robust precision temperature control of heat-dissipating photonics components is achieved by mounting them on thermoelectric modules (TEMs), which are in turn mounted on heat sinks. However, the ...
Highway Subgrade Construction in Expansive Soil Areas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Engineering problems with expansive soils in subgrades complicate highway construction in expansive soil areas of China. To research and solve the engineering problems, a Chinese research group carried out extensive research ...
