RISSlip Chart–Inspired Project Schedule Diagramming: Links, Extension to Network Schedules, and Unification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Schedule delays are an unfortunate prevalent occurrence in the construction industry. To clearly visualize, track, and mitigate them, graphical and analytical tools are needed. But traditional bar charts do not clearly ...

Modeling of the Thread Milling Operation in a Combined Thread/Drilling Operation: Thrilling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates a thread making process called thrilling, which performs both drilling and thread milling with one tool. A chip thickness and mechanistic cutting force model has been ...
Experimental Evaluation of 2-D Entropy Model for Open-Channel Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this technical note is to investigate the applicability of the Principle of Maximum Entropy in hydrodynamics, particularly in velocity distribution in open channels, by comparing the predictions of two 2-D ...
Cross-Wavelet Bias Corrected by Normalizing Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he cross-wavelet transform (XWT) is a powerful tool for testing the proposed connections between two time series. Because of XWT?s skeletal structure, which is based on the wavelet transform, it is suitable for the analysis ...
Best Practices for Case Studies in Construction Engineering and Management Research
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction engineering and management research faces a fundamental dilemma: projects are designed and built just once. Case studies, a qualitative research method, are an appealing choice that is suited to this unique ...
Partial Eigenvalues Assignment in Singular Systems Using Brauer and Rado Eigenvalue Embedding for Impulse Elimination
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A partial infinite eigenvalues assignment for singular systems is proposed, inspired by the well-known Brauer theorem for eigenvalue embedding. Removal of infinite eigenvalues is a frequent practice in mechanical systems, ...
Prospect Theory and MCDM/A Methods in the Selection of Sustainable Wastewater Treatment Plants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe management of water and other natural resources encompasses several important
decision-making situations, one of the most relevant being the selection of wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs). Because of the ...
Characterizing Bridge Functional Obsolescence Using Congestion Performance Measures Determined from Anonymous Probe-Vehicle Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the last few years, anonymous probe-vehicle data has become a reliable means to evaluate travel time reliability, as well as congestion conditions along highways and major arterials. The data is collected using telematics ...
Droplet Spectra Measurements with the FSSP-100. Part I: Low Droplet Concentration Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Entrainment-mixing processes such as droplet spectrum broadening and its impact on the onset of precipitation are, among many others, physical phenomena whose experimental study relies on in-cloud airborne measurements. ...
