RISMultimodal Surface Instabilities in Curved Film–Substrate Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Structures of thin films bonded on thick substrates are abundant in biological systems and engineering applications. Mismatch strains due to expansion of the films or shrinkage of the substrates can induce various modes ...
Study of Factors Influencing Quality of Life through Matches between Demand and Satisfaction of Cultural Services in Urban Parks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Quality of life is increasingly a concern for city dwellers, and it is widely accepted that it can bring benefits to urban developments. As the only natural element in modern cities, urban parks can provide cultural services ...
Simulations of Atmospheric Rivers, Their Variability and Response to GlobalWarming Using GFDL’s New High Resolution General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 50km resolution GFDL AM4 well captures many aspects of observed atmospheric river (AR) characteristics including the probability density functions of AR length, width, length-width ratio, geographical location, the ...
Recovering Loss of Productivity under FIDIC Contracts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The resolution of claims for loss of productivity can be one of the most controversial and challenging areas in construction projects. The challenges usually come from labor productivity’s susceptibility to many factors, ...
Peer Pressure in BIM-Based Collaboration Improves Student Learning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM)-based collaboration may be associated with peer pressure in educational settings. Peer pressure creates a challenge for educators to foster students’ BIM skills and prepare them for a ...
Modeling with Functions for Cumulative Impact of Changes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Industry has recognized that the cumulative impact of changes is a factor that may possibly affect labor productivity. The ripple effect of changes may be impossible to capture in the discrete effects of individual changes. ...
Seasonal Mode-1 M2 Internal Tides from Satellite Altimetry

Correlation and Causation in Construction Claims
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In construction claims, in order to prevail, contractors must establish entitlement, causation, and quantum. Though all these aspects can be very challenging, proof of causation often is subtle and intangible. There is no ...
On the Contribution from a Change in the Context of Cumulative Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Changes’ cumulative effects are often seen as the cascading ripple impact of multiple changes and can influence labor productivity in construction projects. Because individual change orders for scope modifications typically ...
Earthquake-Resistant Statically Determinate Stairs in Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two laws of structural mechanics are presented in this paper. (1) If an entire structure consists of a main part and a statically determinate subsidiary part, then the load applied on the subsidiary part always produces ...
