ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Effect of Fabric Anisotropy on Liquefaction of Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Liquefaction of sand is the main cause of failure for earth structures during earthquakes. Some past research showed that the fabric anisotropy of soils in the ground can cause different responses to both static and dynamic ...
In Situ Regolith Bulk Density Measurement for a Coiling-Type Sampler
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Measuring regolith density in outer space has always been a difficult problem. In this paper, a bulk density measuring method for planetary regolith based on vibration is proposed. The bulk density measurement of planetary ...
Triaxial Behavior of Concrete Subjected to Dynamic Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental research is presented in this paper to investigate the hydrostatic behavior of concrete under dynamic compression. By using the MTS servohydraulic testing system, strain rates from
Measurement of Small Cohesion of JSC-1A Lunar Simulant
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of the difficulty of applying low, effective confining pressure in a triaxial test, the reported small cohesion of JSC-1A lunar simulant from past research is neither accurate nor reliable. To develop an effective ...
Geotechnical Properties of GRC-3 Lunar Simulant
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geotechnical properties of the lunar regolith are critical parameters in the design of equipment for in situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the Moon. It is imperative to simulate the geotechnical behavior of the lunar soil ...
Lunar Excavation Experiments in Simulant Soil Test Beds: Revisiting the Surveyor Geotechnical Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The establishment of permanent bases on planetary surfaces is an important long-term goal of the space community. Understanding the geotechnical properties of planetary surfaces and their interaction with tools and implements ...
Biomechanical Cell Model by Liquid-Crystal Elastomers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, a soft matter cell model is proposed to simulate the cellular cytoskeleton network and motions of intermediate filaments during cell contact and adhesion, in an attempt to explain mechanical information ...
Optimal Collocation of Three Kinds of Bragg Breakwaters for Bragg Resonant Reflection by Long Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well known that, for a series of submerged artificial bars uniformly distributed in the coastal region parallel to the coastline, if the wavelength of the incident wave train is twice that of the bar distance, Bragg ...
Prediction Method of Long-Term Mechanical Behavior of Largely Deformed Sand Asphalt with Constant Loading Creep Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of large pronounced deformation in the compressive creep process of soft sand asphalt, it is necessary that both the true stress and true strain are measured. Accordingly, instead of fictitious creep compliance ...
Nonlinear Dynamic Responses of a Corrugated Shell Structure under Uniform Load
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Corrugated shell structures are widely used in civil, naval, automotive, and aerospace engineering because of their superior properties. In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic deformation of a class of longitudinally corrugated ...
