Evaluation of Stress-Dependent Methods for the Punch-Through Capacity of Foundations in Clay with Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper compiled 159 centrifuge tests for foundations in clay with interbedded sand where punch-through failure was observed. The accuracy of initial- and failure-stress-dependent methods was quantified by the mean and ...
Flexible Booster Chlorination: Design and Operation for Water Distribution Systems under Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Uncertainty inherent in the operations of water distribution systems (WDSs) poses risks to public health due to the likely insufficient or excessive disinfectants caused by inevitable changes in WDS operations. A methodology ...
Model Selection and Uncertainty Quantification of Seismic Fragility Functions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A fragility function quantifies the probability that a structural system exposed to a given hazard exceeds an undesirable limit state event conditioned on the occurrence of a hazard level. Multiple sources of uncertainty ...
Analysis of Impartial Implementation in Practice of Risk Identification in Technical Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk identification in the case of technical projects is an issue that has been extensively studied in many previous research efforts; however, a thorough study of the respective literature clearly reveals a methodological ...
Reliability-Based Shear Rating of Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders Considering Capacity Adjustment Factor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the reliability of prestressed concrete (PC) bridge girders in the shear rating process is quantified, in which the use of a simple procedure to enhance the accuracy of shear capacity evaluation for rating ...
Probability Propagation Method for Reliability Assessment of Acyclic Directed Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many civil infrastructure systems that deliver resources from source points to sinks, e.g., power distribution and gas pipeline networks, can be described as acyclic directed networks comprising nodes and links. ...
Risk-Based Maintenance Planning for Rail Fastening Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Failures in rail fasteners can lead to misalignments of the rails and even cause a train derailment. Current inspection and maintenance regimes for rail fasteners, however, do not adequately address the credible failure ...
Probabilistic Design of Gas Collection Systems for a Prototype Bioreactor
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prototype bioreactor studies are becoming an increasingly common approach to assessing municipal solid waste degradation in landfills, owing to their greater potential for monitoring and control. Though reports of several ...
Experimental Design for Measuring Operational Performance of Truck Parking Terminal Using Simulation Technique
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The paper presents the performance analysis of a well-designed truck parking terminal, which is planned for regulating truck traffic over a commercial port. The designed truck parking terminal is modeled using microscopic ...
A Design Live Load Model for Long-Span Bridges Based on Traffic Data and Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Current design codes for long-span bridges rely on the conservative live load models developed based on the assumed severe traffic congestion scenarios. To properly consider the site-specific traffic environment in designs ...
