Adaptive Nontransferred Plasma Charge Sensor and Its Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Practical welding control systems require durable/compact sensors to sense the welding process and appropriate control algorithms to produce smooth welds. A novel arc welding sensor, referred to ...
Impact of Surface Temperature on Fatigue Damage in Asphalt Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To evaluate the anti-fatigue performance of asphalt pavement affected by temperature and solve the problem of an inaccurate estimation of fatigue damage by adopting a single fixed temperature, the impact of different surface ...
Effect of Active Filler on the Interfacial Adhesion between Granite Aggregate and Asphalt Mastic: Investigation of the Mechanism
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To investigate the characteristics and mechanism of fillers’ influence on the interfacial adhesion properties between asphalt mastic and granite aggregate, four kinds of active fillers were selected to replace limestone ...
Structural-Performance Tracking to Multitype Members of Shenzhen Vanke Center in Construction Phase
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Shenzhen Vanke Center is constructed of a composite frame and cable system, which is a novel structural system and leads to a tedious, complex, and lengthy construction process. The structural construction process ...
Probabilistic Modeling of Fatigue Damage in Orthotropic Steel Bridge Decks under Stochastic Traffic Loadings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fatigue truck models with deterministic parameters were developed into a stochastic vehicle flow model. A response surface method was used to approximate the function between vehicle axle weight and equivalent fatigue ...
Structural Response Estimation Based on Kalman Filtering with Known Frequency Component of External Excitation and Multitype Measurements for Beam-Type Structure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Structural health monitoring can be performed through long-term monitoring of key structural parts to obtain the structural response information of civil engineering structures in real service environments. This enables ...
Applications of Constructed Wetlands for Water Pollution Control in Taiwan: Review
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A review of published literature and practical projects of constructed wetlands (CWs) implemented in Taiwan was conducted to highlight wetland performance in wastewater treatment for various applications. Specific opportunities ...
Innovative Launch of Long-Span Arch Bridge Across Waterway Using Special Hydraulic Crawler
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The construction of a 140-m spanned arch bridge adopted an innovative launching method in which the steel superstructure with a total weight of 2,120 t was entirely assembled and erected on the south side, and then ...
