Evaluation of Hydraulic Conductivity Functions of Saturated Soft Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hydraulic conductivities of soils rely significantly on three factors, the properties of their pore water, the relative quantity of their pore water, and changes in their pore structure. For saturated soft soils, that ...
On-Site Monitoring of the Moisture Content of Bridge Decks Made of Nail-Laminated Timbers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study summarizes the moisture content (MC) monitoring results of two nail-laminated timber (NLT) bridge decks in New Brunswick, Canada. The MC monitoring systems were installed in the NLT decks of two newly built ...
Exploring the Effects of Horizontal Leaders’ Presence on Team Members’ Job Burnout: A Moderated Mediation Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research aims to link leadership and employees’ well-being in the architecture, engineering, and construction (A/E/C) industry while focusing on horizontal leadership, which is displayed by subordinates, and job burnout ...
Complex Variable Solutions for Tunneling-Induced Ground Movement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil loss during tunneling may induce the ground deformation. The loss volume depends on tunneling methods, soil types, workmanship, etc. The movement pattern along the tunnel section can be separated into two parts: one ...
Oscillation and Chaos in Combined Heat Transfer by Natural Convection, Conduction, and Surface Radiation in an Open Cavity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Combined heat transfer by natural convection, conduction, and surface radiation in an open cavity is solved numerically by employing SIMPLE algorithm with QUICK scheme. The unsteady-state flow ...
Improved Boussinesq Equation–Based Model for Transient Flow in a Drainage Layer of Highway: Capillary Correction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, time to drain and depth of flow are the two basic concepts for designing the drainage layer of highway, both of which are based on the saturated flow and cannot reasonably evaluate the drainage efficiency of ...
Analytical Prediction of Pipeline Behaviors in J-Lay on Plastic Seabed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: -lay is widely accepted as a favorable method for deepwater pipeline installation. The configuration and internal force of the pipeline during the laying process are key factors for its safety, and the embedment induced ...
Experimental Investigation of the Far-Field Noise Generated from the Cruise Configuration of Aircraft High-Lift Device
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Air traffic has developed rapidly in the last decades. The noise generated from aircraft can impair the health of passengers and airport residents, so it is necessary to reduce aircraft noise and relieve the annoyance due ...
Modeling Strain-Rate Dependent Behavior of KR0-Consolidated Soft Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An anisotropic elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model is developed for
Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Effect of Nanoparticle Aggregation on Transport Properties of a Nanofluidn1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Effect of nanoparticle aggregation on the transport properties that include thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluids is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Unlike many other MD ...
