Spatiotemporal Variation in Cross-Shelf Exchange across the Inner Shelf of Monterey Bay, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ross-shelf exchange resulting from wind- and wave-driven flows across the inner shelf has been the focus of a considerable body of work. This contribution extends recent analyses to the central California coastline using ...
Long-Lead Forecasting of Runoff Season Flows in the Colorado River Basin Using a Random Forest Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There is an increasing need for skillful runoff season (i.e., spring) streamflow forecasts that extend beyond a 12-month lead time for water resources management, especially under multiyear droughts and particularly ...
Stirrup Requirements for Blast‐Resistant Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ten one‐way reinforced concrete slabs were tested to investigate the effects of shear stirrups and stirrup details on ultimate capacity and tensile membrane behavior. The slabs were rigidly restrained at the supports and ...
Reinforcing Building Facades with Geotextile Fabrics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation is made of potential reinforcement to limit debris hazard of masonry facade walls of conventional buildings subjected to blast effects using geotextile fabrics anchored to the floor slabs and beams. Fourteen ...
Quantifying Changes in the Florida Synoptic-Scale Sea-Breeze Regime Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Response of 1/4-Scale Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) Walls to Blast
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The exterior walls of conventional structures are often constructed using concrete masonry units (CMUs), commonly called concrete blocks. A series of experiments was conducted at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development ...
Experimental Comparison of the Performance and Residual Capacity of CFFT and RC Bridge Columns Subjected to Blasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The blast performance of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) bridge columns was studied through a two-phase study comprised of blast and residual axial capacity experiments. Two one-fifth-scale CFFT ...
Experimental Comparison of the Performance and Residual Capacity of CFFT and RC Bridge Columns Subjected to Blasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The blast performance of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) bridge columns was studied through a two-phase study comprised of blast and residual axial capacity experiments. Two one-fifth-scale CFFT ...
Blast Response of Lightly Attached Concrete Masonry Unit Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Exterior wall panels of structures are often constructed of concrete masonry units (CMUs), commonly known as concrete blocks. These walls may become a debris hazard to building occupants when high explosives, for example, ...
Teaching Community Engagement to Engineers via a Workshop Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Engineers design and create solutions to solve problems and positively impact people’s lives. Unfortunately, traditional engineering training does not prepare students to engage with the people in the community where they ...
