Probabilistic Seismic-Stability Analysis of Slopes Considering the Coupling Effect of Random Ground Motions and Spatially-Variable Soil Properties
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A probabilistic slope stability analysis framework based on the Newmark permanent displacement method and probability density evolution theory is presented to quantify the coupling impact and propagation of combined ...
Coupled Moving Particle Simulation–Finite-Element Method Analysis of Fluid–Structure Interaction in Geodisasters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Geodisasters associated with fluidized geomaterials, such as flow-like landslides, flow slides, and debris flows, pose a tremendous threat to communities and the environment. Protective structural measures are therefore ...
Flow–Structure Interaction Mechanism under Coriolis Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Coriolis effect in centrifuge modeling of flow–structure interaction has not been well understood, and thus this paper presents numerical simulations to address this issue. The results indicate that the Coriolis ...
Impact Model for Baffle Design Resisting Granular-Flow Disasters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Baffle structures are effective measures for decelerating granular flows and reducing their destructive power. However, the engineering design of baffle structures, particularly with respect to their height and strength, ...
Calculation of Moisture Distribution in Early-Age Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The moisture content in concrete pores is a critical parameter for most of the degradation processes suffered by concrete, such as concrete shrinkage and related cracking. The objective of this paper is to present the ...
Slope-Dynamic Reliability Analysis Considering Spatial Variability of Soil Parameters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Slope instability caused by earthquakes often brings huge casualties and property losses, and so it has great practical significance for seismic design and disaster prevention to evaluate the stability of slopes accurately ...
Interior Relative Humidity of Normal- and High-Strength Concrete at Early Age
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The moisture content in the concrete pores is a critical parameter for most of the degradation processes suffered by concrete, for example concrete shrinkage and related cracking. In the present paper, the development of ...
Pipeline Planning System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a research and development (R & D) effort on a Pipeline Planning System (PPS). Research was first conducted to identify the aspects of pipeline planning and pipeline-network design that could benefit ...
Characteristics of Concrete Corroded by Landfill Leachate in Extremely Cold Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In extremely cold regions with frequent extreme weather conditions, coupled factors make concrete corrosion by garbage landfill leachate become more complicated. Although previous studies have characterized the effects of ...
Fluctuation Characteristics of Spray Velocity Field of Coaxial Convergent Nozzle by Particle-Image-Velocimetry Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coaxial elements and annular liquid jets are normally utilized in industrial applications to generate sprays. A particle image velocimetry investigation on the transient characteristics of the ...
