Experimental Study and Analysis of the Pullout Properties of Glued-In Rods Inserted Parallel to Grain in Side-Pressure Laminated Bamboo Lumber
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glued-in rod connections (GIRc) in timber or bamboo joints are characterized by high stiffness, strength, and aesthetic appeal. In this study, pullout tests were conducted on 42 specimens of GIRc in side-pressure laminated ...
Energy Characteristics and Damage Constitutive Model of Frozen Sandstone under Triaxial Compression
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To study the energy characteristics and damage laws of frozen rock during mine freezing, a triaxial compression test and synchronous acoustic emission test of frozen sandstone are conducted. The results show that (1) the ...
Analysis of the Influence of Dual Spark Plugs on the Combustion Stability of a Shale-Gas Engine
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To improve the thermal efficiency of a shale-gas engine and reduce the cycle variations in the engine, this study adopts the experimental method and simulation to examine the engine’s combustion process and cycle variations ...
Evaluation of the Interaction and Aging Behavior for Asphalt Binders with Epoxy Resin and Phase Change Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aimed to explore the interaction and antiaging characteristics of composite phase change materials in asphalt for long-term temperature adjustment of asphalt pavement. First, the epoxy resin/phase change materials ...
Crane Signalman Hand-Signal Classification Framework Using Sensor-Based Smart Construction Glove and Machine-Learning Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On construction sites, the principal means of communication between crane operator and crane signalman is mainly hand signaling. Often these hand signals are received and interpreted incorrectly, leading to communication ...
Study of the Influence of DPF Regeneration Conditions on the Oxidation Characteristics of Particulate Matter in Biodiesel Combustion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: After a diesel engine is fueled with biodiesel, the morphology and oxidation activity of particulate matter will change, which will affect the performance and regeneration effect of the diesel particle filter (DPF). This ...
Hydrogen Production Performance of a Self-Heating Methanol Steam Reforming Microreactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study of microchannel methanol steam reforming plays an important role in improving the efficiency of hydrogen production and promoting the development of clean energy. This thesis numerically simulates a circle-triangle ...
Effects of Microstructure on Water Removal in the U-Shaped Region of PEMFC Serpentine Flow Channel
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) bipolar plate serpentine flow channel U-shaped region is prone to the accumulation effect, which poses serious difficulties for fuel cell water management. As a result, a deep ...
Experimental Study on Acoustic Emission Response and Damage Evolution Characteristics of Frozen Sandstone under Lateral Unloading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Coal mine shaft excavation with the freezing method causes surrounding rock deformation under lateral unloading. In this paper, the failure process of frozen sandstone under lateral unloading was studied based on the ...
Effects of g-C3N4/MMT Composite on High Rheological Behaviors and Catalytic Properties of Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The adverse impact of vehicle emissions on the roadside environment is becoming increasingly serious. Traditional catalytic materials exhibit a singular practical effect and are prone to aggregation within asphalt systems. ...
