RISPullout Performance and Branching Effect of Radial Cables to Reinforce the Steep Fill–Bedrock Interfaces: Investigation of a Pullout Test and a Numerical Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Steep fill–bedrock interfaces usually appear in many filling soil infrastructures, such as airports, houses, and road embankments in mountainous areas, when the excavation of rock slopes is constrained. These interfaces ...
Dynamic Performance of Strengthened Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Arch Bridge due to Moving Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A strengthened concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge which has experienced serious damage due to long-term heavy-truck action is studied. An in-depth study of the dynamic performance of the bridge due to dynamic ...
Damping Characteristics of Interconnected Power Systems with Wind-Photovoltaic-Thermal-Bundled Power Transmitted by AC/DC Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: One of the major ways of delivering renewable energy generation from large-scale energy bases in northeast, northwest, and northern China, is to bundle the power from wind-photovoltaic-thermal units and then transmit it ...
Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Air Pocket Configuration on Fluid Transients in a Pipeline
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Air pockets entrapped in pipeline systems are required to be non-intrusively diagnosed by fluid transients. In this study, experimental investigations are used to compare the transient transmission and reflection effects ...
Comparison of Numerical Models for the Interaction of a Fluid Transient with an Offline Air Pocket
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Effective modeling of pipe network anomalies can supplement fluid transient diagnostic techniques. This study focuses on comparing modeling approaches for predicting the transient response due to air pockets entrapped ...
Design, Preparation, and Performance of a Gradient Structural Concrete Member
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of a gradient structural concrete component was investigated to improve the durability of concrete structures under harsh environments. On the basis of the theory of functionally graded materials with high crack ...
The Rapid Cooling Effect on Microstructure of Nickel-Based Alloys Welding Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fusion welding of nickel-based alloys is often associated with coarse grains and severe segregation, which finally results in the increase of hot cracking susceptibility and poor mechanical properties. Conventional gas ...
Modeling Interactions between Hydraulic Transients and Inline Air Pockets in Water Pipelines: Dynamic Behavior and Energy Dissipation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The existing one-dimensional model is inadequate in predicting the dynamic interactions between hydraulic transients and inline air pockets in water pipelines, leading to underestimated pressure dissipation in the modeling ...
Carbon Dioxide Exchange in an Irrigated Agricultural Field within an Oasis, Northwest China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontinuous eddy covariance measurements of CO2, water vapor, and heat fluxes were obtained from a maize field within an oasis in northwest China from 1 May 2008 to 30 April 2009. The experimental setup used was shown to ...
Experimental Investigation of the Interaction of Fluid Transients with an In-Line Air Pocket
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Entrapped air blocking the flow in pipeline systems is a common cause of increased pumping costs. At present, air is generally removed via valves or pipeline excavation and drilling. This becomes inefficient in large ...
