RISA Comparative Study on the Effects of Ignition Timing on Combustion, Knock, and Emissions in an Alcohol–Gasoline-Fueled DISI Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. This study experimentally investigates the effects of ignition timing on combustion behavior, knock propensity, and emissions in a direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engine fueled with gasoline (G100) and 30 ...
Comparison of Measured and Theoretical Pressure Distribution below Strip Footings on Sand Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents vertical pressure values occurring under the center line of uniformly loaded laboratory model tests of a surface strip footing on a sand bed. The vertical pressure distribution in medium dense sand was ...
Stress Distribution below a Continuous Footing on Geotextile-Reinforced Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the additional vertical stress (Δσ) change occurring under the centerline of a continuous footing on geotextile-reinforced soil. For different reinforcement parameters and conditions, load tests and ...
Drying of a Fully Saturated Porous Medium With Excess Water Layers: A Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Drying of moist porous media can be very energy inefficient. For example, in the pulp and paper industry, paper drying consumes more than two-thirds of the total energy used in paper machines. Novel drying technologies can ...
Performance of One-Part Perlite-Based Geopolymer Concrete: Effects of Silica Modulus and Water-Binder Ratio
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates the feasibility of producing geopolymer concrete using perlite
through a one-part mixing method, focusing on the effects of silica modulus and the
water-to-binder (w/b) ratio on performance. ...
Electrokinetic Injection of Ammonium and Sulfate Ions into Sand and Kaolinite Beds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The efficiency of electrokinetic injection of a cation (ammonium) from the anode and an anion (sulfate) from the cathode into a fine-grained sand bed and a kaolinite bed is investigated. Electrodes are placed in chambers ...
Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural ...
Performance of Clay Soil Reinforced with Fly Ash and Lignin Fiber Subjected to Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to present the results of an experimental investigation related to the unconsolidated undrained triaxial compression behavior of fine-grained soil as a function of freeze-thaw cycles, and fly ash–lignin ...
Sawtooth Method for Teaching Seismic Design Principles to Architecture Students
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although acknowledged as a must in earthquake-prone countries, the introduction of seismic design principles in schools of architecture is often perceived by the students as a serious limitation to their design freedom. ...
GIS-Based Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability Information of Old Masonry Buildings Using a Mobile Data Validation System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study proposes a geographic information system (GIS)–based rapid visual screening approach for seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry buildings in culturally and architecturally important historical regions. ...
