RISSoil Moisture Status in an Irrigated Pecan Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the authors have modified a traditional transpiration formula using a soil-gas stress response function of the soil water content to appropriately depict the leaf water head. This allowed identification of ...
Reducing the Impact of Measurement Errors When Reconstructing Spatial Dynamic Forces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inferring external spatially distributed dynamic forces from measured structural responses is necessary when direct measurement of these forces is not possible. The finite difference method and ...
Automated Type Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms Using Numeric Optimization With Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method for the automated type synthesis of planar mechanisms and multibody systems. The method explicitly includes topology as a design variable in an optimization ...
Influence of Exposure Temperature on Chloride Diffusion into RC Pipe Piles Exposed to Atmospheric Corrosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on the influence of exposure temperature (21, 30 and 50°C) on chloride diffusion into reinforced concrete (RC) pipe pile exposed to atmospheric corrosion. The governing equation of chloride diffusion ...

Electric Transit Network Design by an Improved Artificial Fish-Swarm Algorithm
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study solves the electric transit network design problem (ETNDP) by simultaneously optimizing the layout of bus routes, the service frequency, and the location of charging depots. To ensure the rational design and ...
Actual Working Performance Assessment of Super-High Arch Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: China is addressing the significant challenge posed by the construction of several 300-m-high arch dams for the effective use of hydropower resources. Limited experience has been gained globally in the construction of ...
Experimental Study of Offset HSS Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The structural behavior of welded hollow structural sections (HSS) connections in which one member is laterally offset from the plane of a connection is investigated experimentally and compared with corresponding planar ...

Plastic Deformations of Impulsively Loaded, Rigid-Plastic Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rigid body dynamics is used to determine the deformation of a fixed-end, rigid-plastic beam subjected to uniformly distributed impulsive loading. The proposed solution methodology allows calculations of deformations at ...
