Experimental Study on the Anisotropic Hydraulic Conductivity of a Sandstone–Mudstone Particle Mixture
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Assessment of a Soft Sensor Approach for Determining Influent Conditions at the MWRDGC Calumet WRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many older water reclamation plants (WRPs) are implementing model-based process control to satisfy increasingly stringent effluent requirements while they lower energy costs, but these methods require reliable process ...
Deformation Pattern of Beams Rested on Different Foundation Models in Nonuniform Foundation Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The theoretical calculation considering foundation and beam interaction is widely employed to simulate thee deformation pattern of a beam rested on different foundation models. Based on the Kerr three-parameter foundation ...
A Mechanical Model and Solution for Dynamic Response of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Pile-Supported Embankment under Traveling Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To evaluate the mechanical behavior and the load transfer mechanisms of a geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankment under traffic load, an analytical model is developed based on elastodynamic theory, and its ...
Defining Influent Scenarios: Application of Cluster Analysis to a Water Reclamation Plant
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Process control at older water reclamation plants (WRPs) can be challenging as operators work to balance higher energy costs and more stringent effluent limitations while managing fluctuating loads. To better understand ...
Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation on Concrete Box Culverts in Trenches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete culverts in trenches have been widely used in expressways. Problems frequently take place because of improperly estimated vertical earth pressures on culverts. Different codes have been used in China to estimate ...
Statistical Evaluation of the Load-Settlement Response of a Multicolumn Composite Foundation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examined a composite foundation that was improved by the joint usage of two types of columns: soil-cement and stone columns. The composite foundation that consists of soil-cement columns, stone columns, and ...
Margin of Safety in TMDLs: Natural Language Processing-Aided Review of the State of Practice
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The margin of safety (MOS) accounts for uncertainties in the total maximum daily load (TMDL) development process and the variabilities involved in simulating systems, providing a complete description of the degree of ...
Experimental Investigation of the Hybrid FRP-UHPC-Steel Double-Skin Tubular Columns under Lateral Impact Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The lateral impact behavior of hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC)-steel double-skin tubular columns (DSTCs) was experimentally investigated in this study. Seven specimens, which had ...
Improved Analytical Soil Arching Model for the Design of Piled Embankments
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because analytical soil arching models are fundamental for the design of piled embankments, numerous soil arching models were proposed for this purpose. However, the results obtained from various soil arching models differ ...
