Abstract: The transportation sector is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United State. Developing underutilized urban industrial sites with certain characteristics (i.e., close proximity to transit, ...

Abstract: The transportation sector is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. This study examines the cost effectiveness of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)–certified ...

Abstract: Physical experiments have been conducted to study the scouring around a pipe over an erodible bed under wave motion. The results show that the depth of the wave-induced scour is reduced when ...

Abstract: Pavement management systems have become more crucial through the development of road networks. Data collection is at the core of any pavement management system. Rutting is a critical defect on pavements that can lead to ...

Abstract: In this study, an Euler–Lagrange coupling twophase flow model, namely movable bed simulator (MBS)twodimensional (2D) model was employed to explore the currentinduced livebed scour beneath marine pipelines. The fluid phase ...

Abstract: An Eulerian two-phase flow model was presented and employed to investigate wave-induced tunnel scour beneath marine pipelines. The model is based on the Euler-Euler coupled governing equations for the fluid and sediment ...

Abstract: The particle swarm optimization (PSO) method and the genetic algorithm (GA) were used to derive formulas for determining the velocity and concentration profiles in sheet flows. Specifically, these ...

Abstract: Buildings constructed adjacent to the slope crest in seismically active areas might be exposed to serious danger when they are subjected to strong earthquake excitations. The ground conditions can influence the seismic ...
