RISGeneralized Equivalent Spectral Model for Serviceability Analysis of Footbridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a generalized equivalent spectral model of pedestrian-induced forces on footbridges that can be applied in serviceability analysis, from unrestricted traffic to crowded conditions. The model is based ...
Effects of Ultrasounds on the Heat Transfer Enhancement From a Circular Cylinder to Distilled Water in Subcooled Boiling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The main aim of this work is to investigate experimentally the influence of ultrasonic waves, on the heat transfer enhancement, from a stainless steel circular cylinder to distilled water, in ...
Double Proper Orthogonal Decomposition for Representing and Simulating Turbulence Fields
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The modeling and simulation of the wind field along structures is a fundamental step in the analysis of their wind-excited response. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) provides efficient tools to formulate a model ...
Dynamic Models of Thermal Systems Using an Energy Based Modeling Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this work is to give a new approach to obtain compact dynamic thermal models suitable for a variety of systems where the heat transfer can be caused by conduction, internal convection (not at the boundary), and ...
Weather-Induced Landslide Activity in Clayey Slopes: Modeling for the Design of Site-Scale Early Warning Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractBased upon both phenomenological and numerical analyses, current landslide activity
in clayey slopes has been found to be recurrently prompted by the soil–vegetation–atmosphere
interaction taking place in the very ...
Compressibility of Kaolinitic Clay Contaminated by Ethanol-Gasoline Blends
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, oedometer tests were used to examine the effects of ethanol-gasoline blends on the consolidation characteristics of a kaolinitic soil from northwestern Spain. As the fraction of ethanol in blends increases, ...
Best-Fit Models to Estimate Modified Proctor Properties of Compacted Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Regression models were developed to estimate the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of clayey and fine-grained soils using physical and index properties from 30 soil samples collected in Central Italy and 41 ...
Integrated Design of Dam Size and Operations via Reinforcement Learning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the water systems analysis literature and practice, planning (i.e., dam sizing) and management (i.e., operation design) have been for long time addressed as two weakly interconnected problems, and this often ...
Assessment of Landslide Damage to Buildings at the Urban Scale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article aims to deepen the knowledge in the field of landslide risk assessment by introducing a new multilevel approach to the vulnerability assessment. It focuses on an original methodology for damage assessment of ...
Reliability Bounds for Structural Systems Subjected to a Set of Recorded Accelerograms Leading to Imprecise Seismic Power Spectrum
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In earthquake engineering, recorded accelerograms must be critically analyzed to predict the seismic behavior of structures under future earthquakes. Recent studies have highlighted that, in addition to amplitude, the ...
