RISEffects of Chloride, Humidity, and Concrete Mix on the Electrochemical Parameters of Steel Reinforcement Corrosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The large uncertainties of electrochemical input parameters, along with their variation with chemical environment and time, can significantly affect the accuracy of simulations and oversimplify the nonuniform corrosion ...
Development of Bioregenerant and Its Potential Application: Investigation for Regeneration of RAP Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To achieve efficient utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials, a bioregenerant (BR) was developed in this research, and waste vegetable oil (WVO), alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO), plasticizer ...
Maturity-Based Method of Early-Strength Characterization of Rapid-Setting Cements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The expedient repair of damaged airfield pavements is important to eliminate long closure periods. Rapid-setting cement (RSC) is promising for achieving target strength in a much shorter duration (4–6 h) compared to ...
Low-Temperature Mechanical Properties of AA 6063-T6 and 7075-T6: Tests and Full-Range Constitutive Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aluminum alloys (AAs) are potential alternative constructional materials for low-temperature infrastructures in cold regions and liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks. This study investigated the mechanical properties ...
Quantitative Assessment of the Architect’s Role under US Standard Construction Contracts: A Graph Theory Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluating the architect’s role in construction contracts is vital for improving the contractual relationship and preventing disputes. Standard contracts define the architect as an owner’s agent and/or a contract administrator. ...
Improving Construction Meeting Effectiveness: Trade-Offs between Reactive and Proactive Site-Level Planning Discussions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the adage “hope for the best, plan for the worst,” site-level proactive plans produced by construction planning meetings show planning for the best. Planning meetings comprise both proactive and reactive discussions. ...
Research on the Dynamic Evolution of Social Risks in Community Renewal Projects: Considering the Coupling Effects of Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The social risk of a community renewal project is a macro concept, which is composed of many micro social risk factors. Community renewal projects involve a large number of stakeholder subjects, and the relationship between ...
Impact of CEO Duality and Overconfidence on Construction Technology Innovation: Evidence from China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry has long been regarded as a relatively conservative and less innovative sector. Adjusting corporate governance structure is an effective method to promote innovation in the construction industry, ...
VR-Based Technologies: Improving Safety Training Effectiveness for a Heterogeneous Workforce from a Physiological Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The enhancement of construction safety performance heavily relies on effective safety training. While virtual reality (VR) technologies have been utilized to improve construction safety training programs, the extent and ...
Response of an Installed Suction Caisson Induced by Rectangular Footing Penetration in Nonhomogeneous Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During the construction of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) system, the lifting of the wind turbine blade requires setting up of jacks near preinstalled foundations, which could impact the existing adjacent foundations. To ...
