RISSystemic Estimation of Dam Overtopping Probability: Bayesian Networks Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dam overtopping is one of the major causes of dam breach accidents. Many studies have focused on the estimation of dam overtopping probability. However, the occurrence of a dam overtopping incident is subject to many factors ...
Numerical Simulation for Three Dimensional Elastic-Plastic Contact with Hardening Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An elastic-plastic contact (EPC) solution and code is developed using a modified semi-analytical method. The indentation tests with different hardening behavior are simulated by using the developed ...
Study on Correlation between Impact-Resistance Performance and Microbial Characteristics by MPSR and SBR under Transient Organic Load Shock
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The single-cycle transient high-concentration organic load shock test was conducted on the micropressure swirl reactor (MPSR) and sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to assess their capability to different levels of transient ...
Feedforward Analysis for Shield-Ground System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ground surface settlement is an important measurement in identifying potential damages for shield tunneling. Identifying the relationship between shield parameters and the resulting settlement is of vital importance to the ...
Essential Dynamics of the Vertical Wind Shear Affecting the Secondary Eyewall Formation in Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigated the effects of vertical wind shear (VWS) with varying magnitudes on secondary eyewall formation (SEF). It turns out that weak-to-moderate VWS advances the timing of SEF. Strong VWS, however, is ...
Experimental Study of the Postfire Mechanical Properties of Grade 14.9 Superhigh-Tension Bolt
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fire hazard has been one of the most critical factors to threaten the safety of steel structures. Steel structures may not collapse when suffering fire and cooling down, but the serviceability of building after the fire ...
New LGFBG-Based Structural Integrity Evaluation Method for Cement-Grouted Soil Nails
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel optical fiber sensor-based nondestructive method, namely, the long-gauge fiber Bragg grating (LGFBG) method, for integrity assessment of cement-grouted soil nails. This LGFBG sensor was developed ...
Three-Dimensional Repeated Elasto-Plastic Point Contacts, Rolling, and Sliding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accumulative plastic deformation due to repeated loading is crucial to the lives of many mechanical components, such as gears, stamping dies, and rails in rail-wheel contacts. This paper presents ...
Study on the Load Transfer of Transverse Cracks of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The current standards and specifications of China for cement concrete pavements do not take into account the load transfer of transverse cracks in the reinforcement design of continuously reinforced concrete pavements ...
Variability of Heat Content and Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Southeast Indian Ocean: Roles of the Indonesian Throughflow and Local Wind Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prominent interannual-to-decadal variations were observed in both heat content and mesoscale eddy activity in the southeast Indian Ocean (SEIO) during 1993–2020. The 2000–01 and 2008–14 periods stand out with increased ...
