RISKinetic Particle Simulations of Plasma and Dust Environments at Robotic Construction Sites near the Lunar Terminator
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a kinetic particle simulation campaign of plasma and dust environments related to excavation and construction activities at the lunar terminator regions. The electrostatic field caused by the local ...
Bond Performance between Slightly Corroded Steel Bar and Concrete after Exposure to High Temperature
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bond-slip characteristics of slightly corroded (less than 2% mass loss) reinforcing steel bars embedded in concrete were investigated with pull-out tests conducted after exposure to high temperature and subsequent cooling. ...
Dynamic Nonlinearity and Nonlinear Single-Degree-of-Freedom Model for Cable Net Glazing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The nonlinear vibration differential equation and vibration frequency of cable net glazing subject to earthquake loading was determined, and a geometrically nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom model for cable net glazing ...
Wind Flow Characteristics of Multivortex Tornadoes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A multivortex tornado refers to a tornado that contains two or more small subvortices in the wind field. Due to the presence of multiple vortices, this type of tornado is likely to be more dangerous and destructive than ...
Mechanisms Determining Diversity of ENSO-Driven Equatorial Precipitation Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Tornado-Induced Structural Damage Based on Reconnaissance Surveys of the 2019 Jefferson City, Missouri, Tornado and Previous Tornadoes Notable Tornadoes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tornadoes are violent, short-lived wind phenomena that may result in catastrophic damage to homes and property and significant fatalities. Based on statistical data, a majority of tornado-induced fatalities are related to ...
Revealing Bluff-Body Aerodynamics on Low-Rise Buildings under Tornadic Winds Using Numerical Laboratory Tornado Simulator
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tornadoes result in death and property loss in communities around the world. To quantify the actions of tornadoes on civil structures, researchers have built physical laboratory tornado simulators to simulate tornadoes in ...
Understanding Tornadic Wind Effects on Manufactured or Mobile Homes through High-Fidelity CFD Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tornado fatality rates in the southeastern United States are higher than those in Tornado Alley, despite Tornado Alley having a higher frequency of tornadoes. A major contributing factor is the large number of mobile and ...
Lateral Performance of Self-Centering Steel–Timber Hybrid Shear Walls with Slip-Friction Dampers: Experimental Investigation and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An innovative self-centering steel–timber hybrid shear wall (SC-STHSW) system is proposed in this paper. The SC-STHSW system is composed of two subsystems: the posttensioned (PT) steel frame, and the infill light-frame ...
Application of Multidisciplinary Community Resilience Modeling to Reduce Disaster Risk: Building Back Better
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: From December 10 to December 11, 2021, a deadly tornado outbreak struck across several states in the US, including Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This tornado outbreak resulted in at least $3.9 billion ...
