RISEvaluation of Criteria for Setting Speed Limits on Gravel Roads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Even though speed limits of gravel roads are typically set based on statutory guidelines, there are some instances where exceptions are allowed and in place. In the absence of detailed literature on the subject, this study ...
Dynamics of Underwater Gas Blowout in Sonic Regime: Laboratory-Scale Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To understand the dynamics of vigorous gas jets in underwater gas blowouts, we present a laboratory experiment and data analysis to quantify key physical properties of gas jets horizontally discharged through a single ...
Effective Hydraulic Conductivity for Partially Saturated Porous Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper a method of obtaining the effective hydraulic conductivity for partially saturated porous media is proposed. The governing moisture transport equation was modified by introducing a velocity term to make it ...
Balancing Maintenance Costs and Degradation Levels in Building Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractMaintenance strategies require a balance between maintaining assets at acceptable
levels of service and minimizing maintenance costs. The latter is imperative especially
for building elements, since they require ...
Development of an Efficient Maintenance Strategy for Corroded Steel Bridge Infrastructures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The potential for structural capability degrading effects caused by corrosion is of profound importance and must be both fully understood and reflected in bridge inspection and maintenance programs. As the number of steel ...
Bubble Plume Integral Model for Line-Source Diffusers in Ambient Stratification
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: We developed an integral plume model to simulate the behavior of bubble plumes generated from line-source geometry in stratified ambient reservoirs by adapting the double-plume integral model developed for point-sources ...
Development of a Structural Health Monitoring Tool for Unreinforced Masonry Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Developing a condition assessment method for the structural health monitoring (SHM)
of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures is an utmost need to identify the remaining
service life of the structure, the application ...
Systematic Review on Alkali-Activated Binders Blended with Rice Husk Ash
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Production of alkali-activated binders is a developing research field that utilizes industrial/agricultural by-products and solid waste for the development of sustainable concrete. This paper comprehensively reviews the ...
Growing Corn and Sugar Beets with Feedlot Effluent, Air Injection, and Subsurface Drip Irrigation System in Western Nebraska
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As a state with the most irrigated agricultural land in the United States, Nebraska relies on freshwater resources for its irrigation. In addition to these conventional water sources, using nonconventional alternatives for ...
