RISNature of Soil–Water Characteristic Curve for Plastic Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Determinations of unsaturated soil parameters using experimental procedures are time consuming and difficult. In recent years, the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) has become an important tool in the interpretation ...
Conversion System for Grid-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Grid Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The increasing use of electrical vehicles aroused the problem of batteries charging and the consequent interface with the power grid. Commercial charging solutions are mostly based on unidirectional power flow converters; ...
Unsaturated Infinite Slope Stability Considering Surface Flux Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A slope stability model is derived for an infinite slope subjected to unsaturated infiltration flow above a phreatic surface. Closed form steady state solutions are derived for the matric suction and degree of saturation ...
Constant Water Content Compression Tests on Unsaturated Compacted Soil with Suction Measurement Using a HCT
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil compaction is a process used in different engineering works; from the most complex to the simplest, the quality of soil compaction indiscriminately affects the final condition of the compacted soil in terms of engineering ...

Short-Term Solar Irradiance Forecasting Using CNN-1D, LSTM, and CNN-LSTM Deep Neural Networks: A Case Study With the Folsom (USA) Dataset
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, solar irradiance short-term forecasts were performed considering time horizons ranging from 5 min to 30 min, under a 5 min time-step. Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI) ...
Sustainability Analysis of an Urban Basin in Central Brazil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A great challenge for water managers and stakeholders is the maintenance and improvement of basin sustainability, tackling the ever-increasing threats and impacts. Some catchments, such as the Paranoá River basin (Central ...
Ladle Furnace Slag as Binder for Cement-Based Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, the environmental facet of industrial waste management has become imperative. The recycling of these residues in the civil construction sector is growing, since both industries have developed an increasing ...
