RISDo Hazard Mitigation and Preparedness Reduce Physical Damage to Businesses in Disasters? Critical Role of Business Disaster Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper provides fresh evidence on the status of business disaster planning, mitigation, and preparedness, and the effectiveness of these activities on loss reduction. Data from a survey of businesses in Galveston County, ...
Bonded Sleeve Connections for Joining Tubular Glass Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Beams and Columns: Experimental and Numerical Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A bonded sleeve connection was developed for joining tubular glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) beams and columns. It utilizes a sleeve connector made by welding a steel tube to a steel endplate. The steel tube is then ...
Electrochemical and Semiconducting Properties of Passive Films on Steel Surfaces in Alkali-Activated Slag Extraction Solution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the electrochemical and semiconducting properties of passive films on steel surfaces in alkali-activated slag extraction solution (NSAS) using potentiodynamic polarization ...
Development of a New Factor for Hot Gas Ingestion Through Rim Seal
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a further investigation on the mechanism of hot gas ingestion by exploring the ingress with complicated cavity generated by the rotormounted cylinder protrusion. During the experiment, a cavity with ...
Fuel Stratification and Partially Premixed Combustion With Neat n-Butanol in a Compression Ignition Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) has been considered as an ideal combustion mode for compression ignition (CI) engines due to its superb thermal efficiency and low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ...
Commercial Building Recovery Methodology for Use in Community Resilience Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Commercial businesses in an area affected by a natural hazard can have significant interruption and disruption because of damage and impeding factors including financing delays. The recovery of commercial buildings is a ...
A Case Study of Coupling between Low- and Upper-Level Jet–Front Systems: Investigation of Dynamical and Diabatic Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An example of coupling between an upper-level and a low-level jet?front system is analyzed using the mesoscale hydrostatic model SALSA. The case study chosen is the cold front sampled during the intensive observation period ...
Investigation on the Impact of Protrusion Parameter on the Efficiency of Converting Additional Windage Loss for Ingress Alleviation in Rotor–Stator System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a detailed investigation on the impact of protrusion parameter including both radial position and amount on the efficiency of cavity with protrusion converting additional windage loss for ingress ...
