RISDisturbed State Concept–Based Constitutive Model for Structured Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The compression behavior of structured soils after virgin yielding is highly nonlinear and cannot be captured by a single line in the e–ln(p′) space. The slope of the compression curve of structured soils changes gradually ...
Wetting-Induced Collapse Behavior of Unsaturated Soils in Disturbed State Concept Framework
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a model for compression and wetting-induced collapse behavior of unsaturated soils using the disturbed state concept. The volume change and collapse behavior of unsaturated soils were described using ...
Energy Losses in Irregular Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Energy losses in irregular channels are due only partly to boundary shear and additional energy loss results from the effects of bends, irregularities, and changes in the cross section. Experiments which were designed to ...
Extracting Urban Subzonal Land Uses through Morphological and Spatial Arrangement Analyses Using Geographic Data and Remotely Sensed Imagery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Land use (LU) information is of significant value for various urban studies and is needed for a wide variety of decision-making initiatives in the range of global, regional, and urban areas. However, it has been difficult ...
Disturbed State Concept–Based Solution for Consolidation of Plastic Clays under Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified solution for consolidation of plastic clays under cyclic loading in disturbed state concept (DSC) framework. When normally consolidated (NC) clay undergoes cyclic loading, at the beginning ...
Homotopy Perturbation–Based Dynamic Analysis of Structural Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the dynamic analysis of structural systems using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). HPM was applied to the first-order differential equations of motion defined by the state vector. This approach ...
Review of Solar Cooling Technologies in the MENA Region
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The demand for air conditioning and refrigeration has been increasing due to a rise in the global temperature and the burgeoning world population. Conventional electricity-driven vapor compression cycles (VCCs) use ...
Fuzzy AHP Model for Prequalification of Engineering Consultants in the Iranian Public Procurement System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prequalification of engineering consultants in the Iranian public procurement system is suffering from arbitrary processes and criteria that cannot effectively shortlist the increasing number of potential bidders. This ...
Seismic Rehabilitation and Repurposing of the Faculty of Design of the Tabriz Islamic Art University
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In addition to maintaining their cultural, social, and economic character, repurposing old industrial edifices breathes new life into them. The historical Khosravi leather factory was built in 1931 in the city of Tabriz ...
Evaluation of Spatial Rainfall Products in Sparsely Gauged Region Using Copula Uncertainty Modeling with Triple Collocation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents a topography-dependent error adjustment technique for observed spatial rainfall estimate (OSRE) with the application of a multivariate t-copula model in a sparsely gauged region in Bangladesh. Multiple ...
