RISNew Well-Balanced Path-Conservative Numerical Scheme for a Partially Relaxed Two-Layer Hydro-Sediment-Morphodynamic Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: By incorporating horizontal sediment transport and bed erosion into the two-layer depth-averaged shallow water system, one can construct a hydro-sediment-morphodynamic mathematical model in which a variable sediment ...
Improved Modeling of Flows in Sewer Pipes with a Novel, Well-Balanced MUSCL Scheme
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The numerical study in this paper aims at obtaining exact well-balance and improving the computational accuracy, efficiency, and the performance at wet–dry fronts, especially for the flows in ventilated sewer pipes. To ...
Streamlining the Construction Productivity Improvement Process with the Proposed Role of a Construction Productivity Improvement Officer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction productivity improvement has become a key area of focus among academia and industry over the last decade attributable to its strong potential in benefitting the construction industry. Despite its high impact ...
Economical Validation of Residential Solar Power Investment: A Cost–Benefit Analysis Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The externalities of investment decisions with regard to residential photovoltaic (PV) systems have been changing rapidly in recent years. This study thoroughly explored these fast-changing dynamics by investigating the ...
Analytical Study of Employing Low-Strain Lateral Pile Integrity Test on a Defective Extended Pile Shaft
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The lateral pile integrity test (LPIT) method, a low-strain nondestructive test technique, is employed in this paper to evaluate the integrity of an extended pile shaft supporting superstructure. An extended pile shaft ...
A Novel Method for Stability Analysis of Weakly Inclined Subgrade by Centrifuge Model Test and the Finite-Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The stability analysis of a weakly inclined subgrade is a crucial topic of geotechnical engineering. This work established a novel method based on the Swedish method to solve the stability analysis of a weakly inclined ...
Spatial–Temporal Variation of Soil Sliding Probability in Cohesive Slopes with Spatially Variable Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Landslide is a common and severe geohazard that may pose significant risk to adjacent structures such as buildings and buried pipelines. Identification of the failure slip surface is critical for the assessment and management ...
Durability Life Prediction of Reinforced Concrete Structure Corroded by Chloride Based on the Gamma Process
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, a new method for durability life prediction of reinforced concrete structures in a chlorine-eroded environment is presented based on the Gamma process. The Gamma process model is established based on the ...
Generic Models for Predicting Coseismic Displacements of Earth Slopes Based on Numerical Analysis and Machine Learning Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Generic models for estimating the earthquake-induced displacement of Earth slopes are developed based on a numerical approach. A number of 14,112 slope models with different configurations of slope geometry and soil property ...
Linear Stability Analysis of an Electrified Viscoelastic Liquid Jet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A linear instability analysis method has been used to investigate the breakup of an electrified viscoelastic liquid jet. The liquid is assumed to be a dilute polymer solution modeled by the ...
