RISFront-End Planning Implementation in Singapore: Status, Importance, and Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Front-end planning (FEP) is relatively new to the Singapore construction industry, and its importance is not yet well recognized or emphasized. Technological advancements and continuous fragmentation in the construction ...
The Elastohydrodynamic Traction of a Grease LGLT2
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The elastohydrodynamic (EHD) traction coefficients of a lubricating grease LGLT2 were tested at various loads and rolling speeds on a selfmade test rig. Traction coefficient versus slidetoroll ratio curves were generated. ...
Influence of Person-Organizational Fit on Construction Safety Climate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety climate has long been considered a leading indicator for the management of construction safety. Although previous research has concluded that the safety climate of an organization is significantly affected by ...
Steady State Heat Conduction in Exchanger Tubes by Using the Meshfree Boundary Integral Equation Method: Conduction Shape Factor and Degenerate Scale
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Regarding the steady-state heat conduction problem in exchanger tubes, the meshfree boundary integral equation method is employed to determine the conduction shape factor in this paper. Different from the conventional ...
Thermal Stress Analysis of Free-Free Trusses under Temperature Change Using a Self-Regularized Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, a self-regularized approach was employed to determine the thermal stress
in a free-free truss, which results in a singular stiffness matrix. Physically, the
stiffness and flexibility matrices of ...
Effect of Rubber Toughening Modification on the Tensile Behavior of FRP Composites in Concrete-Based Alkaline Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study focuses on the tensile behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in a concrete-based alkaline environment. Because basalt/glass FRP (BFRP/GFRP) composites exhibit relatively poor alkaline resistance ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Strengthened with New Prestressed Carbon-Basalt Hybrid Fiber Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The prestressed fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening technique has been demonstrated to be an effective method to improve the effectiveness of FRP materials and the performance of the strengthened members under ...
Land Subsidence Disaster Survey and Its Economic Loss Assessment in Tianjin, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Land subsidence is a kind of widespread geological disaster that occurs in China’s coastal cities. The Tianjin metropolis has suffered negative influence of land subsidence since the 1950s. Land subsidence disaster scenarios ...
Animations and Properties of Three SDOF Damping Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three models—the viscous damping model, the new hysteretic damping model, and the Coulomb damping model—are studied in this paper. For the viscous damping and the Coulomb damping models, the free vibration problem is ...
