RISPerformance Life Cost-Based Maintenance Strategy Optimization for Reinforced Concrete Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a maintenance strategy optimization method for RC girder bridges by considering the performance indicators, service life and life cycle maintenance cost, as criteria. The condition and reliability indices ...
Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Predictability of Onset Dates of South China Sea Summer Monsoon: A Perspective of Meridional Temperature Gradient
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Genesis of the South Asian High and Its Impact on the Asian Summer Monsoon Onset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he formation of the South Asian high (SAH) in spring and its impacts on the Asian summer monsoon onset are studied using daily 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data together with a climate-mean composite technique and ...
Seasonal Evolution of Anomalous Rainband over East China Regulated by Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Combined Effects of Tropical Indo-Pacific–Atlantic SST Anomalies on Record-Breaking Floods over Central-North China in September 2021
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rainy season typically terminates over the area of central northern China (CNC) in late August with the rapid retreat of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). However, the CNC suffered continuous heavy rainfall in ...
The Interannual Dominant Covariation Mode of Boreal Summer Monsoon Rainfall during 1979–2014
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe boreal summer monsoon (BSM), which includes the monsoons over India (IND), the western North Pacific (WNP), East Asia (EA), North America (NAM), and North Africa (NAF), shows prominent interannual variation ...
CMIP5 Projections of Two Types of El Niño and Their Related Tropical Precipitation in the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFuture projections of the eastern-Pacific (EP) and central-Pacific (CP) types of El Niño in the twenty-first century, as well as their associated tropical circulation and precipitation variability, are investigated ...
In Situ Observation of Microwedge Effect on Liquid Lubrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence of the minute elastic deformation of tool surface, named the “microwedge,” on the asperity crushing in liquid lubrication is investigated experimentally. The microwedge plays a role ...
Investigation on Spray and Flame Lift Off Length of Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol–Diesel Blend in a Constant Volume Chamber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE), as the intermediate product during producing biobutanol by fermentation, is considered as a promising alternative fuel due to its advanced properties and lower recovery cost. The spray ...
Polarized Response of East Asian Winter Temperature Extremes in the Era of Arctic Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIt has been argued that fewer cold extremes will be expected to occur over most midlatitude areas, because of anthropogenic-induced global warming. However, East Asia repeatedly suffered from unexpected cold spells ...
