RISPhysically Based Adjustment Factors for Precipitation Estimation in a Large Arid Mountainous Watershed, Northwest China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study is the first to investigate and improve a quasi–physically based model, MicroMet, by fitting its adjustment factor (χ) for a large data-scarce mountainous watershed in an arid area in Northwest China. The derived ...
Prediction of Viscoelastic Behavior in Asphalt Concrete Using the Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes an application of the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) in simulating the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete (AC). FMBEM has some merits including easy meshing of complicated ...
Influence of Aggregates on Shrinkage-Induced Damage in Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hardening stresses are generated as concrete hardens when the volume shrinkage of the concrete mortar is restrained by the aggregates. In the early stages of concrete curing, random cracking tends to occur because the ...
