RISA Novel Quantitative Model for Determining Subsidy Levels to Accelerate the Replacement of In-Use Construction Equipment for Emissions Reduction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Subsidy incentive programs for accelerating the replacement of construction equipment are widely considered effective for reducing emissions from construction equipment. However, there are no known effective models for ...
Using an Oscillating Water Column Structure to Reduce Wave Reflection from a Vertical Wall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wave absorbers are usually needed for reducing wave reflection from vertical walls. Different from traditional wave absorbers, which dissipate wave energy into unusable forms, an oscillating water column (OWC) structure ...
Blast Hazard Resilience Using Machine Learning for West Fertilizer Plant Explosion
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the effect of infrastructure traits on resilience after an exploration, a blast case (West Fertilizer Plant in West, Texas, 2013) was studied, in which all the buildings’ damage data (damage pictures, damage ...
Machine-Learning Modeling of Asphalt Crack Treatment Effectiveness
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although many research projects have been completed to investigate asphalt crack treatment/repair effectiveness, all of them reported local investigation results with small sample sizes, incomplete time durations, and ...
Three-Dimensional Optical Measurements of Porous Foams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The optical, noncontact stereovision system and data analysis procedure are developed for the measurement of porous foams. The stereovision measurement system has demonstrated the capability to ...
Damping of Taut-Cable Systems: Effects of Linear Elastic Spring Support
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of linear elastic support on the damper effectiveness of a cable-damper system was investigated by modeling the system as a taut string, an intermediate damper, and a spring in series. Two types of damper ...
Laser Interferometry Hologram Registration for Three-Dimensional Precision Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A hologram registration method is developed for the laser holographic interferometry measurement of the 3D surface profile of objects which are larger than the field of view (FOV). The theory ...
Shear Behavior of Brick Masonry Walls Strengthened with Textile-Reinforced Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, in-plane shear tests were performed on 20 masonry wall specimens. The research factors considered included the length, height, thickness, fiber material, and number of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) layers ...
