Framework for Empirical Process to Improve Nonnuclear Gauge Performance in Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nuclear technology has long been used as a nondestructive method to measure the density of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) during pavement construction. Due to nuclear technology’s high costs and intense regulations associated with ...
Discrete Noise Prediction of Variable Pitch Cross-Flow Fans by Unsteady Navier-Stokes Computations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The unsteady viscous flow fields of a cross-flow fan are computed by time-accurately solving the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the unstructured triangular mesh solver ...
Forces and Surface Pressure on a Blade Moving in Front of the Admission Region
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The partial admission technique is widely used to control the output power of turbines. In some cases, it has more merits than full admission. However, additional losses, such as expansion, ...
Effectiveness Study of Methods for Removing Temporary Pavement Markings in Roadway Construction Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pavement markings provide guidance to road travelers and, when not properly removed during construction projects, can lead to fatal accidents. Current state guidelines, however, do not specify a level of acceptable damage ...
