Abstract: This paper presents the common failure mechanisms of high temperature rotors and the engineering approaches to their remnant life prediction. In fatigue crack growth at the rotor bore, cracks ...

Abstract: Infrastructure projects have major effects on implementing the principles of sustainable development. Infrastructure projects will continue to be developed in the coming years, particularly in developing countries such as ...

Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which engineers can influence the competitive behavior of bidders in best value or multiattribute construction auctions, in which both the (dollar) bid and technical nonprice criteria are ...

Abstract: Gentrification is a well-known Western phenomenon involving the upgrading of urban areas, where economic forces compel the original inhabitants to be displaced by a wealthier group of people. Evidence of the gentrification ...

Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which engineers can influence the competitive behavior of bidders in best value or multiattribute construction auctions, in which both the (dollar) bid and technical nonprice criteria are ...

Abstract: A fair revenue-risk allocation is essential for successful public-private partnership (PPP) projects. In this paper, a swing option, which can hedge the underlying risk in two directions above and below expectations, is ...

Abstract: Two large-scale shake table experiments were conducted to study the seismic pile group–bridge soil system failure mechanisms and examine the role of soil crust in lateral spreading caused by liquefaction. Pile group–bridge ...
