RISPredicting Organic Accumulation in Sediments Near Marine Outfalls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The impacts of wastewater discharges in coastal waters are largely exhibited in sediment composition changes. Processes controlling the accumulation of organic material in sediments near submerged sewage outfalls are ...
Road to Effective Project Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study to determine what skills and traits make effective project managers was conducted. A questionnaire was developed and distributed across the country to office managers of an engineering organization involved in the ...
The Warmest Day of Any Week Tends to Occur on the First or Last Day of That Week
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The author analyzed daily maximum temperature data collected at the San Francisco International Airport from 1949 to 1994. For each week, he computed the day of the week on which the weekly maximum temperature falls. He ...
Design/Build Prequalification System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the development of a model for a public‐sector owner to select appropriate members for a design/build team. The Design/Build Prequalification System (DBPS) represents the initial stages of prequalification ...
Optimal Hybridization of Symmetric, Cross‐Ply Laminates against Biaxial Buckling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimal ratio of the thickness of the inner layers made of a low‐stiffness fiber‐reinforced material to the total laminate thickness is determined for sandwich hybrid laminates, with the objective of maximizing the buckling ...
Implementing a Design/Build Prequalification System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the guidelines for using the design/build prequalification system (DBPS) model in the public sector. The DBPS provides a framework for a public sector owner's representative to review and determine ...

Effect of Localized Bending at Through‐Flaws in Pressurized Composite Cylinders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An analytical and experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effect of localized bending at through‐flaws in pressurized composite cylinders. A finite‐difference solution was formulated to determine the ...
Bouyancy Effect on Forced Convection in Vertical Tubes at High Reynolds Numbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The complex interaction of forced and natural convections depends on flow regime and flow direction. Aiding flow occurs when both driving forces act in the same direction (heating upflow fluid ...
Effects of Constituent Materials and Quantities on Water Demand and Compressive Strength of Controlled Low-Strength Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is a self-compacting, flowable, low-strength, cementitious material used primarily as backfill, void fill, and utility bedding in lieu of conventional compacted fill. Potential ...
