RISFacile Retrofit of Shear Tab Connections for Enhanced Lateral Resistance of Steel Gravity Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A facile and effective method for retrofitting simple shear tab connections in a steel gravity frame is presented to improve its overall lateral force-resisting capacity. At a target shear tab connection, the existing gap ...
Novel Self-Centering Negative Stiffness Damper Based on Combination of Shape Memory Alloy and Prepressed Springs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel self-centering negative stiffness damper (SCNSD), which combines superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) and prepressed springs in parallel for damping enhancement. A mechanical model of the damping ...
Experimental Study and Numerical Analysis of CFSST Columns Subjected to Lateral Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study and numerical modeling were carried out to investigate the behavior of concrete-filled stainless-steel tube (CFSST) columns subjected to constant axial compression combined with lateral cyclic loading. ...
pARametric: Empowering In Situ Parametric Modeling in Augment Reality for Personal Fabrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parametric modeling software is a powerful design tool for defining complex geometries, controlling precise dimensions, and maintaining design intent during iterative modifications. However, such software challenges novice ...
Investigating the Cost-Benefit Trade-Off of Additional Planning Using Parade Game Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In construction projects, an unreliable work plan causes unstable workflow, which often results in task completion delay, system throughput decrease, and waste increase. Such a workflow can be managed effectively by promoting ...

Gas-Lift Parameter Optimization Based on Multiphase Production Performance Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. In the middle and late stages of oilfield development, reservoir fluids typically exhibit pronounced multiphase flow behavior, under which conventional single-phase inflow models fail to accurately characterize ...
Experimental and Theoretical Research on Bending Performances of a New UHPC–Steel–Concrete Composite Section
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract This study centers on the Binzhou no. 4 Bridge and proposes an innovative steel-ultrahigh-performance
concrete (UHPC) composite joint, serving as a pivotal component of multilong-span
continuous hybrid girder ...
Heat Transfer During Constrained Melting of Nano Enhanced Phase Change Materials in a Spherical Capsule: An Experimental Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The classical problem of constrained melting heat transfer of a phase change material (PCM) inside a spherical capsule was revisited experimentally in the presence of nanoscale thermal conductivity fillers. The model ...
Benefit of Cooperation among Subcontractors in Performing High-Reliable Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As construction projects get larger and more complex, subcontractors can benefit from cooperation and by forming an alliance, such as partnering. Previous studies have discussed the benefit of cooperation or partnering ...
