RISDesign of a Novel Smart Generation Controller Based on Deep Q Learning for Large-Scale Interconnected Power System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study proposes a novel control strategy based on deep Q learning (DQL) for smart generation control of large-scale interconnected power systems. In this novel DQL algorithm, a deep neural network with higher intelligence ...
Strain Monitoring on PHC Pipe Piles Based on Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors emerged as a relatively new strain-sensing technology for civil engineering applications. This study presents a field test to assess the feasibility of FBG sensors in monitoring the strain ...
Seismic Performance of Hybrid Columns of Concrete-Filled Square Steel Tube with FRP-Confined Concrete Core
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental program that investigated the seismic performance of concrete-filled square steel tube with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–confined concrete core (FCCC) column (SCFC) was conducted. Fourteen SCFC specimens ...
Experimental Study on the Influence of Solar Heat Gain on the Thermal Performance of Hollow Ventilated Interior Wall
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The heating system combining solar air collector with hollow ventilated interior wall (SAC-HVIW) can effectively extend the heating time. However, due to the large wall-window ratio of buildings on Tibetan Plateau, the ...
Gear Reverse-Order Meshing—Phenomenon, Analysis, and Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The gear drive is theoretically a normal-order meshing process to transmit movement and power. When temperature variation, misalignment, manufacture error, or deformation occurs, the normal-order meshing will be destroyed. ...
Statistical Evaluation of the Load-Settlement Response of a Multicolumn Composite Foundation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examined a composite foundation that was improved by the joint usage of two types of columns: soil-cement and stone columns. The composite foundation that consists of soil-cement columns, stone columns, and ...
Quality Evaluation Tests for Tensile Strength of Reactive Powder Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a comparison between different testing procedures to determine the tensile strength of reactive powder concrete (RPC). The tensile strength test methods include a direct tensile test and two indirect ...
Equivalent Strength for Tunnels in Cement-Admixed Soil Columns with Spatial Variability and Positioning Error
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cement-admixed soil columns are often used to strengthen the surrounding soft soil for enhancing tunnel stability. Such improved soil surrounds possess high spatial variability and heterogeneity in the strength and stiffness ...
Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Shear Resistance of Steel–Concrete–Steel Composite Structures with Bidirectional Steel Webs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The steel–concrete–steel (SCS) sandwich composite structures with orthogonal longitudinal and transverse (bidirectional) steel webs exhibit superiorities in strength, ductility, impact resistance, blast resistance, and ...
Bending Capacity of Steel-Concrete-Steel Composite Structures Considering Local Buckling and Casting Imperfection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) composite structures with bidirectional steel webs and ribs exhibit superior performance in capacity, rigidity, ductility, blast resistance, waterproofness, and construction efficiency compared ...
