RISAsymmetrical Load on the Preceding Tunnel of Twin Tunnels in Soil Based on Composite Arching Effect
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract To ensure the safety of twin tunnels in soil, especially closely spaced shield tunnels,
it is critical to evaluate the adverse load on the preceding or existing tunnel induced
by adjacent tunneling. This study ...
Temperature Distribution in a Porous Medium Subjected to Solar Radiative Incidence and Downward Flow: Convective Boundaries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The knowledge of steady-state temperature distribution is known a priori for natural convection stability analysis. The present study determines the temperature profiles in an infinite horizontal ...
Enterprise Localization Practices and Their Implication for Knowledge Management in Foreign Participation in the Chinese Construction Sector
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Foreign firms active in the Chinese construction industry find themselves in a competitive environment unlike the environments in which they operate back home. Adaptations are therefore required in order that firms retain ...
Seismic Displacements of Soil Retaining Walls Situated on Slope
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a new method for calculating seismic displacements of soil retaining walls is proposed. This pseudostatic-based method is based on the failure mechanisms proposed and verified by the writer. Displacement ...
Competitive Strategies Associated with Particular Localization Patterns Adopted by Implanted Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Firms in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A good deal has been written on strategy that explains how firms compete. However, there is nothing yet in the literature that explains the relationship between the strategies used by firms in an offshore context and the ...
Tilting Analysis of Rectangular Elastic Layers Bonded between Rigid Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A theoretical approach to determine the tilting stiffness of a rectangular elastic layer bonded between two rigid plates is presented. On the basis of two kinematics assumptions, the governing equation for the mean pressure ...
Localization Typologies Evident among Foreign Enterprises Active in the Chinese Construction Market
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The successful globalization of enterprises is predicated on them finding the right balance between retaining the core competitive advantages of home-grown strengths while integrating the best of locally sourced resources ...
River Engineering Work on Nanjing Reach of Lower Yangtze River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Through construction experience and research, including model tests, on the Nanjing reach of the lower Yantze River, it was found that different methods must be used to stabilize the discharge ratio of two branches around ...
Interactions of Cold- and Warm-Core Rings with Environmental Shear
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-layer analytical model of cold- and warm-core rings has been constructed to explore steady interactions of isolated eddies with horizontally sheared flows around and below the eddies. Steady inviscid solutions to the ...
Concurrent Subspace Complex Coordination Optimization Method for Structural Layout Synthetical Optimization Problem
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The shortcomings of the concurrent subspace collaborative optimization (CSCO) method for structural layout synthetical optimization problem have been analyzed in the current paper. Based on the complex method principle and ...
