RISEffect of Geometrical Assumptions on Numerical Modeling of Coronary Blood Flow Under Normal and Disease Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shear stress plays a pivotal role in pathogenesis of coronary heart disease. The spatial and temporal variation in hemodynamics of blood flow, especially shear stress, is dominated by the vessel ...
Evaluating Integrated Project Delivery Using the Project Quarterback Rating
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the development, validation, and implementation of an innovative comprehensive project performance metric specifically developed for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects. The project ...
Decision Tree Approach to Classify and Quantify Cumulative Impact of Change Orders on Productivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiple or unusual change orders often cause productivity losses through a “ripple effect” or “cumulative impact” of changes. Many courts and administrative boards recognize that there is cumulative impact above and beyond ...
Quantifying Performance for the Integrated Project Delivery System as Compared to Established Delivery Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Integrated project delivery (IPD) is an emerging construction project delivery system that collaboratively involves key participants very early in the project timeline, often before the design is started. It is distinguished ...
Evaluating Integrated Project Delivery Using the Project Quarterback Rating
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the development, validation, and implementation of an innovative comprehensive project performance metric specifically developed for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects. The project ...
Influences of Naphthenic Oil on SBS-Modified Asphalt Binder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As an organic solvent, naphthenic oil is used widely in the polymer industry, so it has the potential to be used with polymer to improve the performance of asphalt binder in pavement engineering. The effects of naphthenic ...
Preparation of Highly Effective Hybrid Adsorbent by Anionic Dye Wastewater and Its Use in Cationic Dye Wastewater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new kind of acid red 138 (AR138)–calcium fluoride nanosized
Uncertainty Reduction in Multi-Evaluator Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When selecting construction design-build teams, subjective multi-evaluator decision making can be controversial and can lead to project delay, loss of public trust, and increased legal fees. This paper introduces a ...
Reducing Bias and Uncertainty in Multievaluator Multicriterion Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many decisions are based on more than one criterion, judged by more than a single evaluator. Multievaluator multicriterion (MEMC) decision making can be controversial if bias or uncertainty find their way into the final ...
Characterization of Fatigue Looseness of Dowel Bars Based on Substructure Experiment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Dowel bars are indispensable parts of the concrete pavement for load transfer, but they become looser under repetitive load. Because the actual shape and magnitude of fatigue looseness of dowel bars were not observed well ...
