Optimum Geometries for Pier‐Type Airport Terminals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A quantitative methodology to select a suitable terminal geometry for a pier‐type airport terminal is presented. Given the size of a terminal in terms of aircraft gates, the geometry that minimizes the passenger walking ...
Material Point Method for Coupled Hydromechanical Problems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a new formulation of the material point method (MPM) for solving coupled hydromechanical problems of fluid-saturated soil subjected to large deformation. A soil–pore fluid coupled MPM algorithm based ...
Bubble Sizes, Breakup, and Coalescence in Deepwater Gas/Oil Plumes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bubble size distribution (BSD) plays a major role in transport and fate of gas or oil released in deepwater. However, no reliable method is available to estimate gas or oil BSD after a deepwater spill. Breakup and coalescence ...
Correlation of Tire Wear and Friction to Texture of Concrete Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pavement surface texture significantly contributes to tire wear and tire-pavement friction. Currently available relationships quantify tire wear and tire-pavement friction simply in terms of empirical pavement texture ...
Integrated Modeling Framework to Evaluate Conjunctive Use Options in a Canal Irrigated Area
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In canal irrigated areas, where interactions between surface water and groundwater are high, the conjunctive management of surface water and groundwater can play a significant role in improving water availability in time ...
Low Profile, Vibrotactile EMG Feedback Device for Direct Placement on Electrode Patch
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel EMG feedback device has been designed and developed. The device exists in two forms: a trainer version to be used by the general consumer and a stethoscope version that is tailored ...
NJTxtr—A Computer Program Based on LASER to Monitor Asphalt Segregation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the research funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation to develop an automated technology to monitor segregation during construction of hot-mix asphalt concrete pavements. A Laser-based ...
Roof Runoff Capture for Home Garden Crop Cultivation in Sri Lanka
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tropical home gardens in developing countries are a traditional land-use system, which contributes to the basic food requirements of the farming families, as well as providing a small but important income throughout the ...
