BIM Adoption under Government Subsidy: Technology Diffusion Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although building information modeling (BIM) holds the promise of significantly advancing the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) market worldwide, its widespread acceptance and adoption is still an unsolved ...
Vehicular Collision Performance Evaluation of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Piers Designed According to Current Codes in the US, Europe, and China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Current bridge codes in the US, Europe, and China specify vehicular collision loads for the design of piers. However, the performance of piers designed according to current codes in the three countries or regions is unknown ...
Cable Shape and Construction Parameters of Triple-Tower Double-Cable Suspension Bridge with Two Asymmetrical Main Spans
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Triple-tower suspension bridges with two asymmetrical main spans can adapt to complicated terrain conditions. If the top and bottom main cables with different sags are used on the two main spans, the longitudinal constraint ...
Methodological Framework for Understanding Urban People Flow from a Complex Network Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cities are connected by their functions and so are the spaces within cities. With the emergence of multisource data containing abundant urban residents’ mobile information and the introduction of complex network methods ...
Stationary Response of Nonlinear Vibration Energy Harvesters by Path Integration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A path integration procedure based on Gauss–Legendre integration scheme is developed to analyze probabilistic solution of nonlinear vibration energy harvesters (VEHs) in this paper. First, traditional energy harvesters are ...
Residual Deformation-Based Performance Evaluation Method for CFST Piers Subjected to Vehicle Collision
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) piers have been applied in bridge structures due to their high bearing capacity, good ductility, and light weight. During their service life, CFST piers may suffer vehicle collision. ...
Effect of Valley Topography on the Behavior of Asphalt Concrete Core Walls in Earthen Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An increasing number of asphalt concrete core wall earthen dams (ACCDs) are being constructed under complex topographical conditions. The narrow or asymmetrical river valleys might lead to significant arching effects and ...
In Situ Measurements of Settling Velocity near Baimao Shoal in Changjiang Estuary
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the South Branch of the Changjiang Estuary near Baimao Shoal, two in situ approaches were used to estimate the settling velocity,
Simple Method for Calculating Hydraulic Behavior of Combined Sewer Overflow from Rainfall Event Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a simple method for estimating the hydraulic behavior of combined sewer overflow (CSO) using only rainfall data. The method analyzes rainfall event time-series data to extract the critical rainfall ...
Equivalent Shear Force Method for Detecting the Speed and Axles of Moving Vehicles on Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traffic monitoring, particularly on the gross vehicle weight (GVW) and axle weights (AWs) of heavy trucks, provides valuable information for the design and performance evaluation of bridges. Bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) ...
