RISConstruction of an Island
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In January of 1987 work began on one of the most challenging construction projects in recent time. The Kansai International Airport Co. is responsible for reclaiming 1,263 acres (511 ha) of land in Osaka Bay. The resulting ...
Dynamic Model for Understanding Spatial Temperature and Species Distributions in Internal-Reforming Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Direct internal reformation of methane in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) leads to two major performance and longevity challenges: thermal stresses in the cell due to large temperature gradients ...
Discussion of “Enhancement of the Shear Strength of Wastewater Residuals Using Industrial Waste By-Products” by C. Kayser, T. Larkin, and N. Singhal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
A Framework for Assigning Noncredible Failure Modes in Tailings Storage Facility Risk Assessments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractIn the wake of recent tailings storage facility (TSF) failures, the industry is quickening
its progression toward risk-informed design approaches. Guidance documents recommend
developing a robust risk assessment ...
Assessment of Parameter Uncertainty Associated with Dip Slope Stability Analyses as a Means to Improve Site Investigations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Uncertainty is inherent in geotechnical design. In regard to estimating the stability state of dip slopes, most of the uncertainty lies in the geologic model assumed and the geotechnical parameters used in the evaluation. ...
Stress Dependence of Shear Strength in Fine-Grained Soils and Correlations with Liquid Limit
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The undrained strengths and friction angles of a variety of natural fine-grained soils are investigated over an effective stress range of 0.1 to 10 MPa. The resedimentation technique was used to produce identical saturated ...
Network Linear Programming as Pipe Network Hydraulic Analysis Tool
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An accurate network linear programming (NLP) algorithm for the hydraulic analysis of water pipe networks is developed and compared with direct equation solving techniques. Accuracy is achieved by the use of a novel iterative ...
Modeling Bicortical Screws Under a Cantilever Bending Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cyclic loading of surgical plating constructs can precipitate bone screw failure. As the frictional contact between the plate and the bone is lost, cantilever bending loads are transferred from the plate to the head of the ...
Improving Mechanical Properties of Sand Using Biopolymers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural polymers (biopolymers) are discussed as environmentally friendly and sustainable grouting chemicals. This paper presents guidelines for selecting potentially useful biopolymers for strengthening cohesionless soil. ...
Model Studies on Monopile Behavior under Long-Term Repeated Lateral Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Monopiles are the most commonly used foundation type for offshore wind turbine (OWT) structures and are characterized by relatively large geometric dimensions, compared with offshore pile foundations typically used in the ...
