RISDynamics and Energetics of Convective Plumes in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Budgets of horizontal and vertical momentum and of turbulent kinetic energy in vertical direction within updrafts of convective plumes are evaluated, using experimental observations of velocities and temperatures and the ...
A Semianalytical Solution to a Diffusion–Deposition–Resuspension Model of Local Contamination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note describes a semianalytical solution to a diffusion?deposition?resuspension model. Calculations of the fate of a point contaminant show that the model performs well in representing the individual effects of ...
Discussion of “Investigation of Soil Arching with Centrifuge Tests” by Geraldo R. Iglesia, Herbert H. Einstein, and Robert V. Whitman
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Analytical Solution for Reinforced Piled Embankments on Elastoplastic Consolidated Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The reinforced piled embankment has been widely used in highway and high-speed railway because it is effective in reducing total and differential settlement. This paper presents an analytical solution for estimating the ...
Dynamic Numerical Analysis of Antimoisture-Damage Mechanism of Permeable Pavement Base
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As a permeable base material of pavement, the large stone porous asphalt mixture (LSPM) is used widely in China to lessen the moisture damage of the asphalt pavement. However, the dynamics mechanism of the inhibitory effect ...
Traffic Performance in Signalized Intersection with Shared Lane and Left-Turn Waiting Area Established
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper highlights the left-turn waiting area in an intersection and proposes a different perspective for measuring the capacity of the traffic flows, which permits the through vehicles to queue on the left lane in a ...
Case Studies of Reinforced Piled High-Speed Railway Embankment over Soft Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil arching in the reinforced piled embankment is investigated in this paper on the basis of two case studies of high-speed railways constructed in the eastern coastal region of China. The majority of the overburden load ...
Finite-Element Analysis on the Effect of Subsoil in Reinforced Piled Embankments and Comparison with Theoretical Method Predictions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element (FE) analysis of the effect of subsoil in a reinforced piled embankment and compares the findings with predictions from a theoretical method. It shows that the subsoil can carry as much ...
Case Studies of Reinforced Piled High-Speed Railway Embankment over Soft Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil arching in the reinforced piled embankment is investigated in this paper on the basis of two case studies of high-speed railways constructed in the eastern coastal region of China. The majority of the overburden load ...
Reduction of Global Plant Production due to Droughts from 2001 to 2010: An Analysis with a Process-Based Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: roughts dramatically affect plant production of global terrestrial ecosystems. To date, quantification of this impact remains a challenge because of the complex plant physiological and biochemical processes associated with ...
