RISImprovement of Local Asphalt Concrete Binders Using Crumb Rubber
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt binder is a thermoplastic material that acts as an elastic solid during rapid load at low service temperatures. There are two main objectives of study to be evaluated, including improvement of local asphalt concrete ...
Investigating the Various Sustainable Variables of Composite Ferrocement Mortar Using Residual Rock Wool Fibers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The influence of using residual rock wool fibers on the properties of ferrocement mortar was researched. Rock wool (made from basalt) was used as a volumetric partial replacement of fine aggregate to estimate its effect ...
Enhancing Work Zone Capacity by a Cooperative Late Merge System Using Decentralized and Centralized Control Strategies
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper explores the efficiency of a novel merging system based on a cooperative late merge strategy (CLMS) to mitigate the capacity reduction in work zones due to lane closure. Cooperative late merge strategies in ...
Adjustable-Smooth Polynomial Command-Shaping Control With Linear Hoisting
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Great amount of work has been dedicated to eliminate residual vibrations in rest-to-rest motion. Considerable amount of these methods is based on convolving a general input signal with a sequence of timed impulses. These ...
Utilizing Wi-Fi Sensing and an Optimized Radius Algorithm to Count Passengers with Transfers to Enhance Bus Transit O-D Matrix
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The origin and destination (O-D) of public transit passengers are important for the planning and operation of the transit system. However, only 46% of public transit agencies have a smart card system in the US, and most ...
A Residual Flexibility Approach for Decoupled Analysis of Systems of Combined Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A residual flexibility approach for the analysis of systems involving multiple components subjected to dynamic loading is presented. The reactive forces at the junctions of the components are ...
Nonlinear Dynamics of Structures Via Residual Flexibility of Components
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An approach for the analysis of systems comprising multiple components subjected to dynamic loading is presented. It allows for an efficient treatment, stepwise in time, of linear and nonlinear connections between components. ...
Postcombustion CO2 Capture for Combined Cycles Utilizing Hot-Water Absorbent Regeneration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The partly hot-water driven CO2 capture plant offers a significant potential for improvement in performance when implemented in a combined-cycle power plant (CCPP). It is possible to achieve the ...
Closure to “<i>Integrated Project and Process Management</i>” by Majed A. A. Dabbas and Daniel W. Halpin (September, 1982)

Investigation of Flashing Flow in a Siphon to Extract Condensate in Paper Dryer Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper industry uses steam to dry paper web through cylinder dryers. As steam condenses inside the dryer, the condensate is removed by means of either a stationary or a rotary siphon. However, during the siphoning process ...
