Prestressing Optimization and Local Reinforcement Design for a Mixed Externally and Internally Prestressed Precast Segmental Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The precast segmental construction is advantageous for rapid erection, high quality of concrete segments, and minimal disturbance to traffic. This paper compares two different tendon layouts of a segmental bridge erected ...
Finite-Element Analysis of Transverse Lift on Circular Cylinder in 2D Channel Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The control volume-based finite-element method was used to investigate the transverse lift on a circular cylinder in a two-dimensional (2D) channel flow. The study was organized in two consecutive steps: (1) Flow past a ...
Evaluation of Performance Deterioration Characteristics of Asphalt Mixture in Corrosion Environment Formed by Snow-Melting Agents
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To simulate the influence of the corrosion environment caused by snow-melting agent on pavement, an asphalt mixture was treated by dry-wet cycle in a NaCl solution with various concentrations. The rutting test, bending ...
Influence of Complex Stress Path on Energy Characteristics of Sandstones under Triaxial Cyclic Unloading Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper explores the characteristics of energy accumulation, evolution, and dissipation of sandstone samples under different confining pressure conditions in the triaxial cyclic unloading test. The characteristics of ...
Health-Degree Model for Stagger-Joint-Assembled Shield Tunnel Linings Based on Diametral Deformation in Soft-Soil Areas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In soft-soil areas, excessive transverse deformations have occurred in numerous shield tunnel linings accompanied by serious structural defects. However, to date, a method to effectively diagnose the health status of these ...
An Environmentally Friendly Asphalt Concrete Containing SiC Aggregate for Microwave Heating Deicing
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As a green heating technology, microwave heating can effectively reduce the pollution caused during asphalt pavement maintenance. However, lower energy utilization and poorer heating uniformity hinder the further engineering ...
Preparation of 3D-Printed Concrete from Solid Waste: Study of the Relationship between Steel Slag Characteristics and Early Performance in 3D Printing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using steel slag in architectural three-dimensional (3D) printing not only enhances its utilization efficiency but also significantly reduces cement consumption, thereby mitigating carbon emissions. This study evaluated ...
