RISBackfill Corrosivity around Corrugated Steel Plate Culverts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Corrugated steel plate (CSP) culverts are exposed to the risk of soil corrosion because of the location in the soil environment. This paper characterizes the most important factors contributing to corrosion in the soil: ...
Field Performance of Corrugated Steel Plate Road Culvert under Normal Live-Load Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents the results and conclusions from field tests under service loads conducted on a corrugated steel plate (CSP) road culvert. Strains and displacements were measured in selected cross sections of the culvert ...
Corrugated Steel Plate Culvert Response to Service Train Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results and conclusions of field tests under service loads that were conducted on a corrugated steel plate (CSP) railway culvert. Inductive gauges, extensometers, and accelerometers were used to ...
Experimental Study on the Dynamic Impacts of Service Train Loads on a Corrugated Steel Plate Culvert
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The technical note presents the results and conclusions of the field tests under service loads that were conducted on a corrugated steel plate (CSP) railway culvert. On the basis of the measured displacements, use of the ...
The Seasonal Cycle of Lower-Tropospheric Gravity Wave Activity at Davis, Antarctica (69°S, 78°E)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: VHF wind-profiling radar located at Davis in coastal East Antarctica (69°S, 78°E) collected data from September 2009 to August 2011 in the lower troposphere. Gravity wave activity is quantified using the radar?s wind ...
Response Spectral Matching of Two Horizontal Ground-Motion Components
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate performance-based earthquake engineering analysis requires that engineering seismologists and structural analysts employ consistent characterizations of bidirectional seismic demand. In current design, the seismic ...
Experimental and Numerical Similitude Study Using a Novel Turbocompressor Test Facility Operating With Helium–Neon Gas Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel turbocompressor test facility has been designed for helium–neon gas mixtures, and its specific features are presented. To account for the heat transfer originating from the motor coolant, a surrogate model has been ...
Modeling of Elastic Waves in Dynamically Loaded NiAl Bicrystals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two methods have been used to simulate 2D elastic wave scattering in nickel aluminide (NiAl) bicrystals to study effects of grain boundaries and material anisotropy on elastic wave propagation. ...
In-Cylinder Flow Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Four-Valve Spark Ignition Engine: Comparison Between Steady and Dynamic Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical and experimental techniques were applied in order to study the in-cylinder flow field in a commercial four-valve per cylinder spark ignition engine. Investigation was aimed at analyzing ...
