Abstract: This paper presents a numerical and experimental assessment of a plasma actuation concept for controlling corner stall separation in a highly loaded compressor cascade. CFD simulations were first carried out to assess ...

Abstract: Two major earthquakes with magnitudes

Abstract: In railway tracks, additional stresses occur in rails due to interaction between the rail and the bridge superstructure, which is a phenomenon known as track–bridge interaction (TBI). The additional rail stresses (ARSs) ...

Abstract: The resistance of prestressed concrete through-girder (PCTG) pedestrian bridges to lateral loads was studied in response to the increasing number of vehicular impacts in the United States. This research was motivated by ...

Abstract: Each year a large number of concrete bridges are subjected to impact by overheight vehicles or vehicles carrying overheight objects. Most bridge owners in the United States are concerned with the increasing trend of bridges ...

Abstract: Static load tests were performed on support details used at the ends of prestressed concrete pedestrian bridge girders to determine the resistance characteristics of girder supports in the direction perpendicular to the ...

Abstract: Postfabricated beams, that is, newly constructed beams in an existing structural system, provide an effective remedial solution to the serviceability and strength problems in an existing floor system and the discontinuities ...

Abstract: Collaboration, communication, and interactions between project stakeholders have a high impact on the overall success of complex capital projects. To manage these projects and their complex nature, new methods that can ...

Abstract: AbstractConversion of native ecosystems to cropland and the use of irrigation are considered dominant pathways through which agricultural land-use change alters regional climate. Recent research proposes that increases in ...
