RISGround Reaction Curve for Deep Circular Tunnels in Strain-Softening Mohr–Coulomb Rock Masses Considering the Damaged Zone
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The drill and blast method is one of the most widely used techniques for excavation of tunnels in rock masses. The most worrying issue in this method is unfavorable damage induced by blast impact into the surrounding rock ...
Surrogate Model–Based Robust Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite the many advantages of the design optimization technique, this method is costly for real engineering problems. This cost will increase sharply for issues with a multidisciplinary and uncertain nature and more than ...
Seismic Loss Estimation of Residential Wood-Frame Buildings in Southwestern British Columbia Considering Mainshock-Aftershock Sequences
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Earthquakes are rare natural catastrophes, causing severe impacts on society due to loss of lives, damage to built facilities, and business interruptions. After a large earthquake (mainshock), many induced events (aftershocks) ...
Ensemble Combination of Seasonal Streamflow Forecasts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various hydrologic models with different complexities have been developed to represent the characteristics of river basins, improve streamflow forecasts such as seasonal volumetric flow predictions, and meet other demands ...

Elastic–Brittle–Plastic Analysis of Circular Deep Underwater Cavities in a Mohr-Coulomb Rock Mass Considering Seepage Forces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In a drained underwater cavity, seepage forces and pore-water pressure that develop around the cavity may affect the response of the rock mass. In this paper, a fully analytical solution is proposed for analysis of underwater ...
Ultimate Strength and Ductility Characteristics of Intermittently Welded Stiffened Plates Under In-Plane Axial Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ultimate strength and ductility characteristics of the intermittently welded stiffened plates under the action of in-plane axial compression are investigated in this paper. A series of detailed ...
A Computational Investigation on the Effects of Hull Geometry and Stiffeners on the Axial Crushing Strength and Behavior of Aluminum High Speed Crafts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work focuses on the crushing behavior of aluminum high speed crafts in the case of axial bow collision to a rigid structure. LS-DYNA code is used in analyses. Some available experimental ...
Ranked Based Sensitivity Analysis for Size Optimization of Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article proposes a novel rankedbased method for size optimization of structures. This method uses violationbased sensitivity analysis and borderline adaptive sliding technique (ViSBLAST) on the margin of feasible ...
Energy Index Method: Technique for Identification of Structural Damages
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A structural damage detection method based on the change of strain energy in each element before and after the occurrence of damage is presented. The proposed method can localize and quantify both single and multiple ...
