Probabilistic Load Duration Model for Live Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A stochastic model of the live load process in buildings provides a basis for the study of load duration. The combined load model is comprised of a sustained load process and multiple extraordinary load processes. Complete ...
Behavior of Three-Span Braced Columns with Equal or Unequal Spans
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of uniform, elastic, braced columns with three spans is investigated. The spans may have equal or unequal lengths. The base of the column is pinned and the top is either pinned or flexibly supported. The braces ...
Continuous Simulation of Water and Soil Erosion in a Small Watershed of the Loess Plateau with a Distributed Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A physically based distributed hydrological model (THIHMS-SW, TsingHua Integrated Hydrological Modeling System-for Small Watershed) was developed and applied to a
An Experimental Study of Mooring Line Damping and Snap Load in Shallow Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to establish a simple approach to experimentally study the mooring line damping in shallow water, where snap loading may occur more frequently. Experimental measurements were conducted in a wave ...
A UAV–RTK Lidar System for Wave and Tide Measurements in Coastal Zones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA lightweight and low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for coastal wave and tide measurements is developed. This system is based on an assembly of a multirotor UAV, a robotic lidar, an altitude and heading ...
Stress Release–Induced Suction in Unsaturated MX80 Bentonite Pellet and Powder Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a series of suction-control oedometer tests were conducted on unsaturated and saturated MX80 bentonite pellet/powder mixtures. The mixture samples were imposed with various suctions from 0 to 113 MPa ...
Study on the Permeability Characteristics of Foamed Concrete Using a Pore-Scale Model from X-Ray Microcomputed Tomography Image Reconstruction and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Foamed concrete has attracted increasing attention in civil engineering due to its unique properties. Permeability is one of the significant material properties that governs its long-term durability. This work presents a ...
