RISAnalytical Model for the Pullout Behavior of Straight and Hooked-End Steel Fibers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the context of multiscale-oriented computational analyses of fiber-RC (FRC) structures, the modeling of single fiber pullout behavior represents the basic constituent to provide traction-displacement relations to be ...
Soil Property and Subsurface Heterogeneity Control on Groundwater Recharge of Vadose Zone Injection Wells
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Vadose zone well (VZW) injection is an effective method of managed aquifer recharge (MAR), and it plays an important role in semiarid and arid regions. Accurate estimation of the recharge of VZW injection remains a challenge ...
Weak Tropical Cyclones Dominate the Poleward Migration of the Annual Mean Location of Lifetime Maximum Intensity of Northwest Pacific Tropical Cyclones since 1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe poleward migration of the annual mean location of tropical cyclone (TC) lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) has been identified in the major TC basins of the globe over the past 30 years, which is particularly ...
Multilevel Computational Model for Failure Analysis of Steel-Fiber–Reinforced Concrete Structures

A New Aspheric Surfaces Polishing by Parallel Orthogonality Movement/Force Servomechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: According to the all-pervading theory, the best strategy for multiaxis compliant control system is the famous hybrid movement/force control. Until now, the typical way to get it inclines to ...
Load Transfer Analyses of Buried Pipe in Different Backfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonlinear finite-element analyses have been carried out to assess the effects of different trench backfill materials, pipe burial depths, and pipe materials on the amount of traffic load transferred to buried pipe. The ...
Physics-Based Modeling for Lap-Type Joints Based on the Iwan Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study proposed a physics-based heuristic modeling for the nonlinear constitutive relation of bolted joints based on the Iwan model accompanying with the rough surface contact theory. The approach led to an Iwan ...
Storage Effect in Falling Head Permeameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydraulic conductivity (K), a proportionality constant in Darcy’s Law, is one of the most fundamental parameters in groundwater studies. A falling head permeameter (FHP) test is one way to determine K, and its results are ...
Dimensional Estimation of Residual-Drift Demands for Bilinear Bridges under Near-Fault Ground Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Residual drift of bridge columns is an important performance measure for structural damage and postearthquake repair decisions. Yet there are very limited models available for estimating the residual drifts accurately. ...
Numerical Simulations of the Genesis of Typhoon Nuri (2008): Sensitivity to Initial Conditions and Implications for the Roles of Intense Convection and Moisture Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he sensitivity of numerical simulations of the genesis of Typhoon Nuri (2008) to initial conditions is examined using the Advanced Research core of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. The initial and boundary ...
