Abstract: The steady flow due to a nonuniform source in an otherwise uniform stream is studied, the source taking the form of an upstream-pointing and a downstream-pointing slender jet, or sheet-jet. ...

Abstract: This paper describes the influences of floating level ice covers on flow and bed-load transport in alluvial channels and proposes a semi-empirical procedure for calculating flow resistance in such channels. The procedure ...

Abstract: The noise sources from gas turbine engines are defined and their radiation patterns identified from test results. Examination of single-stage and full-scale engine compressor noise measurements ...

Abstract: This paper describes the general operating modes of wind-powered electric utility plants under constant-speed or variable speed classifications. It is shown that for a particular set of wind ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) beams and slabs can be strengthened by bonding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to their tension face. The performance of such flexurally strengthened members can be compromised by debonding ...

Abstract: Mechanical anchorage can delay or even prevent premature debonding failure in externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite strengthening systems. A promising type of anchor made from FRP, which is known as a ...

Abstract: Eccentric corner beam-column joints of existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames, in which the beam axes are eccentric to the column axis, can be highly vulnerable to brittle joint shear failure under earthquake loading. ...

Abstract: This paper uses mixture tests on cores from a full-scale and untrafficked test section to evaluate mixture conditioning protocols intended to simulate asphalt mixture damage experienced from non–load-associated environmental ...
