RISInexact Credibility-Constrained Programming Approach for Electricity Planning in Ontario, Canada
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Under current changing climatic conditions, there has been a growing interest in green energy to mitigate carbon emissions. As such, proper management and planning of electricity are essential to mitigating climate change. ...
Seeking More Cost-Efficient Design Criteria for Infiltration Trenches
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For many jurisdictions, the current design criteria for low-impact development practices (LIDs) including infiltration trenches require LIDs to provide enough storage capacity to store catchment runoff from the location’s ...
Lateral Isolation System of a Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge with Heavyweight Concrete Girder in a High Seismic Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper primarily introduces a new lateral isolation system proposed for the seismic control of a long-span cable-stayed bridge, namely, the Yongning Yellow River Bridge, with high seismic activity and a heavyweight ...
Practical Approach to Modeling of Wood Truss Roof Assemblies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this study was to investigate a practical approach to model trusses and roof truss systems using a commercially available software program, ETABS. The model developed in this study takes into account ...
Simulating Experimental Study of Phosphate and Fluoride on the Influence of Phosphogypsum Properties and Microstructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, phosphate and fluoride were added into the gypsum, respectively, to simulate phosphate and fluoride in the phosphogypsum. The affect of adding different impurities on setting time, compressive strength, and ...
Inexact Optimization Model for Supporting Waste-Load Allocation in the Xiangxi River Basin of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a large-scale inexact two-stage waste-load allocation (ITS-WLA) model is developed to identify desired decision alternatives for supporting economic development and water quality management. In this model, ...
Effect of Surface Microstructure on Microchannel Heat Transfer Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, forced convection heat transfer occurring in microchannels with different microstructures is investigated numerically. It is found that vortices will appear in the microstructure ...

A New Circular Section Control for Streamwise Profiles in Aeroengine Nacelle Cowl Design and Optimization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Nacelle cowl design is dedicated to generating a three-dimensional surface with optimal drag performance. Most previous approaches focused primarily on the design method driven by streamwise profiles, which introduced no ...
Development of a Stepwise-Clustered Hydrological Inference Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flow prediction is one of the most important issues in modern hydrology. In this study, a statistical tool, stepwise-clustered hydrological inference (SCHI) model, was developed for daily streamflow forecasting. The SCHI ...
