RISImage Analyses-Based Nondisruptive Method to Quantify Algal Growth on Concrete Surfaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A global ban on the use of tributyltin has resulted in the need to screen new antifouling agents to control algal growth in aquatic environments. Standard methods for the quantification of algal biomass are disruptive in ...
Correlations between Mechanical Properties of High-Strength Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses some important engineering properties of plain concrete for a wide range of compressive strength. A large volume of selected experimental data has been collected from existing literature and then ...
Behavior of Aramid Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Reinforced High Strength Concrete Beams under Bending
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flexural test results of ten high strength concrete beams reinforced with aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) bars together with a steel-reinforced beam that served as a reference are presented and discussed. All beams ...
Sustainable Usage of Calcium Carbide Residue for Stabilization of Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Chemical stabilization is commonly used to improve engineering properties of problematic soils. This study investigates the possibility of using calcium carbide residue (CCR), a by-product of the acetylene production ...
Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry Measurements and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Analysis of the In-Cylinder Flow of Gasoline Direct Injection Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intake generated flows are known to have a fundamental influence on the combustion both in spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition engines. This study experimentally investigated the tumble flow structures inside a ...
Unveiling the Flow Behavior Inside Gasoline Direct Injection Engine Cylinder Using High-Speed Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry and Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: ricardo-vectis computational fluid dynamics simulation of the in-cylinder air flow was first validated with those of the experimental results from high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements taking cognizant ...
A Case Study on the Influence of Selected Parameters on Microexplosion Behavior of Water in Biodiesel Emulsion Droplets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microexplosion behavior of water in biodiesel emulsion droplets was studied by suspending a single droplet on a wire type thermocouple. Water in biodiesel emulsion droplets with 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18% water by volume was ...
Compressive and Flexural Strength of Polyvinyl Alcohol–Modified Pavement Concrete Using Recycled Concrete Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research on the utilization of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in civil engineering applications is gaining popularity worldwide due to the increased efforts to promote preservation of the environment and sustainable ...
Evolution of Microexplosion Phenomenon in Parent–Child Droplets of Water in Biodiesel Emulsions Enhanced by Different Surfactant Dosages and Hydrophilic–Lipophilic Balance Values
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This experimental study endeavors to investigate the evolution of microexplosion phenomenon of water in biodiesel emulsion droplets with the base fuel (B5) containing 95% diesel and 5% of palm oil methyl ester (POME). ...
Mechanistic Performance and Distress Model of Bottom Ash Modified Porous Asphalt Concretes with Various Thailand Aggregates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The porous structure in the porous asphalt concrete (PAC) mixture is achieved by incorporating a substantial amount of coarse aggregate and polymer-modified asphalt binder (PMA). Bottom ash (BA) was used to modify the ...
