Sediment Discharge from a Storm-Water Retention Pond1
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A small storm-water retention pond is primarily designed to reduce the peak rate of surface runoff. From a water quality standpoint, that same pond may be irregular in shape and trap suspended sediment carried by the surface ...
A Novel Approach for Advancing Asphalt Pavement Temperature and Flow Number Predictions Using Optical Microscope Algorithm–Least Square Moment Balanced Machine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt pavement performance is crucial for the sustainable management of road infrastructure. However, achieving accurate predictions remains challenging due to the complex interactions among materials, environmental ...
Novel Optical-Inspired Rain Forest for the Explainable Prediction of Geopolymer Concrete Compressive Strength
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an extraordinary material for promoting sustainable development in the construction industry and reducing environmental risk. However, material properties, such as compressive strength, are ...
On Separation of a Divergent Flow at Moderate Reynolds Numbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow separation in a divergent channel was investigated in connection with problems of instability and oscillations in physiology at a Reynolds number range much smaller than that usually ...
Slope Collapse Prediction Using Bayesian Framework with K-Nearest Neighbor Density Estimation: Case Study in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slope failures across mountain roads can damage man-made structures, interrupt traffic, and give rise to fatal accidents. Disastrous consequences of these hazards necessitate the approach for predicting their occurrences. ...
Flow in Locally Constricted Tubes at Low Reynolds Numbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With an objective to understand arteriosclerosis, the blood flow in a circular cylindrical tube with a local constriction is analyzed. Numerical results are presented for the streamlines and the ...
Integrating Chaotic Initialized Opposition Multiple-Objective Differential Evolution and Stochastic Simulation to Optimize Ready-Mixed Concrete Truck Dispatch Schedule
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Delivering ready-mixed concrete (RMC) efficiently to construction sites is a practical concern and one of the most challenging tasks for RMC batch managers. Batch plant managers must consider both time and order factors ...
Determination of Homeostatic Elastic Moduli in Two Layers of the Esophagus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The function of the esophagus is mechanical. To understand the function, it is necessary to know how the stress and strain in the esophagus can be computed, and how to determine the stress-strain ...
Opposition-Based Multiple-Objective Differential Evolution to Solve the Time–Cost–Environment Impact Trade-Off Problem in Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current competitive conditions in the construction market require that construction companies satisfy customer needs using increasingly tight project budgets. The key indicators of success currently used on most construction ...
