RISFire-Resistance Mechanism and Residual Bearing Capacity of Prestressed Concrete Beams after Fire Exposure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The fire resistance and residual bearing capacity of prestressed concrete (PC) beams after fire exposure are very important to the safety of engineering applications. This study performed experimental investigations and ...
A Process Oriented Hybrid Resource Integration Framework for Product Variant Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design resources such as design tools, knowledge, and data play important roles in the product variant design. The requirements for these resources as well as the resource integration mechanisms ...
Information Asymmetry in Renegotiation of Public–Private Partnership Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Public–private partnerships (PPPs) use long-term contracts between the government and the private-sector partner to deliver public infrastructure or service. Due to unexpected contingencies, renegotiations have been common ...
Tip Based Nanomanipulation Through Successive Directional Push
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanomanipulation refers to the process of transporting nanoscale components. It has found applications in nanodevice prototyping and biomolecular and cellular investigation. In this paper, we present ...
Temperature Effects on Strain Influence Lines and Dynamic Load Factors in a Steel-Truss Arch Railway Bridge Using Adaptive FIR Filtering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The dynamic strain response due to the passing trains is one of the most important indexes in the design and maintenance of long-span steel-truss arch railway bridges. The strain influence line (IL) and dynamic load factor ...
Product Perceptual Similarity Evaluation: From Attributive Error to Human Knowledge Hierarchy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A crucial part of any recommendation system for manufactured goods is the method used to evaluate the similarity of products. However, despite being central to the performance of many online retailers, current ways of ...
Evaluation and Early Warning of Vortex-Induced Vibration of Existed Long-Span Suspension Bridge Using Multisource Monitoring Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the designing characteristics of long span and low stiffness, the high-order vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of suspension bridges may occur under a special wind environment. The prototype monitoring data make it ...
Early Warning of Abnormal Train-Induced Vibrations for a Steel-Truss Arch Railway Bridge: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Considering the new challenges for high-speed railway bridges, the early warning of abnormal train-induced vibrations is necessary for ensuring the operation safety of both the bridge structures and the trains on the bridge. ...
Effect of Hexavalent Chromium on Performance of Membrane Bioreactor in Wastewater Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of toxic hexavalent chromium poses a great challenge in biological wastewater treatment. In this study, the performance of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for the treatment of synthetic domestic wastewater in the ...
Low-Temperature Rheological Behavior of Submarine Mudflows
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to seawater intrusion, submarine sediments and slide masses routinely evolve into fluidized mudflows during long-distance migration and seriously endanger marine engineering facilities. However, few studies of the ...
