RISSeismosoil Dynamics of Foundations in Mexico City Earthquake, September 19, 1985
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mexico City's strong earthquake of September 19, 1985, induced many evident seismic phenomena at the ground surface and building foundations because of the seismic wave action. The paper is devoted to report briefly some ...
Influence of Manufacturing Variation on the Dynamic and Tribological Performance of Tilting Pad Journal Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A robust approach to investigate a tilting pad journal bearing (TPJB) as a whole tolerance stack-up assembly is presented. Normal component variation within actual design tolerances is considered. The vector loop is expanded ...
Exploiting the Topographic Information in a PDM-Based Conceptual Hydrological Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this work, a conceptual lumped model was developed to simulate runoff and analyze hydrological processes with the goal of incorporating the morphological information into a probability-distributed model (PDM). PDMs ...
Multivariate Response Rotordynamic Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis of Tilting Pad Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Achieving an optimal design of journal bearings is a very challenging effort due to the many input and output variables involved, including rotordynamic and tribological responses. This paper demonstrates the use of a ...
Impact of the Hawaiian High on Interannual Variations of Winter Precipitation over California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ast investigations have shown that interannual variability in winter precipitation over the western United States is related to large-scale sea level pressure fluctuations. California is adjacent to the North Pacific ...
Methodology to Optimally Place Pressure Sensors for Leak Detection in Water Distribution Systems Using Value of Information
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The presence of leaks in water distribution networks (WDN) is a problem of global concern that causes significant annual losses of treated water. Most efforts to solve this problem concentrate on the development of methods ...
Impact of Concrete Cracking: Case Study in Chilean Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The construction sector is one of the most relevant to the world economy. Within it, the most used material is concrete given its excellent construction characteristics. However, this material suffers from different issues ...
Impact of Concrete Cracking on Building Projects: Case Study in Santiago, Chile
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In all concrete infrastructure, there will be cracks that can lead to loss of structural strength and durability and create visual impact. While concrete repair entails material and labor costs, it is interesting that no ...
