RISEarthquake and Postearthquake Fire Testing of a Midrise Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Building. II: Shear Wall Behavior and Design Implications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Complementing a companion paper that summarizes the building global response and physical damage of a midrise cold-formed steel (CFS) framed building during an earthquake and postearthquake fire test program, this paper ...
Anomalous Data Detection for Roller-Integrated Compaction Measurement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of an anomalous data detection treatment for roller-integrated compaction measurement (RICM) data. Anomalous data, which may be discovered during the collection ...
Material Properties of Porous Asphalt Pavement Cold Patch Mixtures with Different Solvents
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This laboratory study investigated the performance of open-gradation cold patch asphalt mixtures using two new solvents, mineral spirit and isoamyl acetate, for patching potholes in porous pavements. Mineral spirit and ...
Earthquake and Postearthquake Fire Testing of a Midrise Cold-Formed Steel-Framed Building. I: Building Response and Physical Damage
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To advance understanding of the multihazard performance of midrise cold-formed steel (CFS) construction, a unique multidisciplinary experimental program was conducted on the Large High-Performance Outdoor Shake Table ...
Trajectory Optimization Using Analytical Target Cascading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the previous reports, analytical target cascading (ATC) is generally applied to product optimization. In this paper, the application area of ATC is expanded to trajectory optimization. Direct collocation method is ...
Cyclic Mechanical Loading Enhances Transport of Antibodies Into Articular Cartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goal of this study was to characterize antibody penetration through cartilage tissue under mechanical loading. Mechanical stimulation aids in the penetration of some proteins, but this effect has not characterized ...
Seasonal Variability and Dynamics of the Pacific North Equatorial Subsurface Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The North Equatorial Subsurface Current (NESC) is a subthermocline ocean current uncovered recently in the tropical Pacific Ocean, flowing westward below the North Equatorial Countercurrent. In this study, the dynamics of ...
Effects of Combustion Parameters on Emissions of Diesel, Diesel/n-Butanol, and Diesel/n-Butanol/2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate Fuels at Different Intake-Oxygen Concentrations in a Diesel Engine
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper tested one cylinder of a modified light-duty 4-cylinder diesel engine to study the coupling effect of 1.8-bar pressure and oxygen concentration (Coxy) on the combustion process of diesel (B00), diesel/n-butanol ...
Impact of Waste Cooking Oil under Different Stages on Aged Asphalt-Mineral Interface Adhesion via Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Waste cooking oil (WCO) was investigated as an asphalt rejuvenator and found to have good potential. The properties of the WCO itself will change with usage and the WCO under different stages may affect the bond between ...
A Study on μ-Synthesis Control for Four-Wheel Steering System to Enhance Vehicle Lateral Stability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design of μ-synthesis control for four-wheel steering (4WS) vehicle and an experimental study using a hardware-in-the-loop (Hil) setup. First, the robust controller is ...
