Abstract: A set of observations of hourly wind movement at four levels in the layer 2?14 m. above the crest of a ridge is presented. The data are classified into prevailing wind types. During most periods the profile conforms to ...

Abstract: In modern construction projects, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners who are actively involved in projects use different methods of visualization, such as building information modeling (BIM), physical mock-ups, ...

Abstract: A time-accurate Euler/Navier–Stokes analysis is applied to predict unsteady subsonic and transonic flows through a vibrating cascade. The intent is to validate this nonlinear analysis along with ...

Abstract: In an experimental investigation, the minimum length of curing of silica fume concrete was determined and compared with that of plain portland cement concrete and fly ash concrete. Four silica fume concrete mixes with ...

Abstract: Economic effects relative to transit construction in urban areas take many forms. Joint development may be the most visible, but others such as increased employment, property values and tax receipts are also present. A ...

Abstract: To meet future global oil and gas demands, the energy industry will need creative thinking that leads to the discovery and development of new fields. Unconventional gas resources, especially ...

Abstract: A method for predicting the vibratory response of bladed disks under high engine acceleration rates is developed. The method is based on the Fundamental Mistuning Model, an existing reduced ...

Abstract: The process of designing buildings requires both creative and analytical skills to devise innovative building solutions that cannot be generated from analytical skills alone, but traditional teaching and assessment tends ...

Abstract: The tensile mechanical behavior of the cement-bone interface where there was a large process (plastic) zone at the interface was modeled using a nonlinear fracture mechanics approach. A finite ...
