Application of the Meshfree Method for Evaluating the Bearing Capacity and Response Behavior of Foundation Piles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Meshfree method is one of the numerical methods that typically use higher-order approximate functions and a weighted-residual approach to formulate the shape functions that are independent of the grids. In this paper, a ...
Study on Nonlinear Calculation Method of Load Transfer along Pile Shaft
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many static test data indicate that, the load transferring curves can be well fitted with hyperbola, so nonlinear analysis on behavior of load transferring along pile shaft is necessary. Therefore, the primary influential ...
Time, Cost, and Energy Consumption Analysis on Construction Optimization in High-Rise Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The multiobjective optimization problems in project management have always been the issues on which project managers focus. Currently, few investigators consider the multiobjective optimization model suitable for high-rise ...
Risk Assessment and Early-Warning System for High-Speed Railway during the Construction and Operation of Underpass Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Potential risk assessment and early-warning system are essentially important to ensure the safety of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges. This paper presents an in-depth methodology of this risk assessment and early warning. ...
PV-Trombe Wall Design for Buildings in Composite Climates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of the novel PV-Trombe wall in Hefei is theoretically processed in this paper. The area of winter air vents and width of PV-Trombe wall are determined, the effects of two improvements ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Potential risk assessment and early-warning system are essentially important to ensure the safety of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges. This paper presents an in-depth methodology of this risk assessment and early warning. ...
Analysis and Design Optimization of Flexible Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A project-level optimization approach was developed to minimize total pavement cost within an analysis period. Using this approach, the designer is able to select the optimum initial pavement thickness, overlay thickness, ...
Uniform Design–Based Gaussian Process Regression for Data-Driven Rapid Fragility Assessment of Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a uniform design (UD)-based Gaussian process regression (GPR) method for rapid damage assessment and fragility estimates of bridges. The core idea of the proposed method is that the GPR model was adopted ...
Analysis of the Thrust Force on the Temperature-Control Curtain in a Large Stratified Reservoir
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A temperature-control curtain (TCC) is an effective facility to regulate the outflow temperature in reservoirs, and its safety and stability are of great concern. The pressure difference between the front and back of a TCC ...
Virtual Axle Method for Bridge Weigh-in-Motion Systems Requiring No Axle Detector
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) systems provide an effective approach to identifying the axle and gross vehicle weights of vehicles as they travel over an instrumented bridge. For the majority of BWIM systems, the vehicle ...
