Evaluation of Public Spaces in Historical Centers of Small Towns: Case Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Historical centers of small towns are a unique example of public space. They are often the most representative feature of a town, as well as a tourist attraction, but they are also residential districts. The unique character ...
Assessment of Dynamic Properties and Scope of Implementing a New Track Transition Curve
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper discusses the possibility of replacing the commonly used clothoid transition curve on a railroad route with a new transition curve adapted to railway operational requirements. The new transition curve is similar ...
Prioritizing Method for Retrofitting Toronto’s Single-Family Housing Stock to Reduce Heating and Cooling Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study analyzes simulated secondary (site) energy consumption before and after applying a series of building envelope retrofits to inform a prioritized list of retrofit options tailored to one of four single-family ...
RuSe Electrocatalysts and Single Wall Carbon Nanohorns Supports for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selenium modified ruthenium electrocatalysts supported on carbon black were synthesized using NaBH4 reduction of the metal precursor. Prepared Ru/C electrocatalysts showed high dispersion and very small averaged particle ...
An Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Water Hammer Phenomenon in Slurries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fine solid materials can be transported with the use of water as a carrier liquid. From the practical point of view, the economy of designing and maintenance is usually the most important factor. That way of transport has ...
Stress–Strain Responses of Calcium Fly Ash
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The paper aimed to present the stress–strain and yielding response of dry and wet molded calcium fly ash in connection with the deformation characteristics at small strains for different stress paths and stress states. ...
New Approach to Arc Fitting for Railway Track Realignment

Inorganic Nitrogen Compounds in Water Mains in Northern Poland and Their Implication for Health Risk
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of nitrogen compounds significantly affects the quality of water intended for human consumption. The maximum contaminant level (MCL) of nitrogen in potable water in Poland was set up as follows:
Installation of Novel Suction Bucket Foundation with New Modular Geometry in a Large-scale Set-up
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates a modular bucket foundation design developed for large offshore wind turbines. Instead of the regular round shape, the modular bucket consists of trapezoidal profiles bolted together and additional ...
