Abstract: On October 23, 2011, an earthquake (
Seismic Design of Lifeline Bridge using Hybrid Seismic Isolation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the merits of a hybrid seismic isolation system used for the seismic design of a major bridge. The bridge is analyzed for two different arrangements of seismic isolation systems. The first arrangement ...
Integral Abutment-Backfill Behavior on Sand Soil—Pushover Analysis Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a study on the behavior of the abutment-backfill system under positive thermal variation in integral bridges built on sand. A structural model of a typical integral bridge is built, considering the ...
Simplified Model for Computer-Aided Analysis of Integral Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a computer-aided approach for the design of integral-abutment bridges. An analysis procedure and a simplified structure model are proposed for the design of integral-abutment bridges considering their ...
Effects of Mix Design Variables on Mechanical Properties of Hot Mix Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compaction of hot mix asphalt after the laydown process is one of the critical steps of construction affecting the service performance of asphalt concrete. It is known that compaction is controlled by a number of mix design ...
New Approach to Group Pile Load Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current literature lacks an analytical method for estimating pile load distribution due to the statically indeterminate nature of pile groups. In practice, such estimations are accomplished by finite-element-based analyses ...
Finite Element–Based Coefficient of Lateral Earth Pressure for Cohesionless Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In addition to various factors, the magnitude of lateral earth pressure depends on the direction and amount of the wall rotation. The current literature presents several expressions to calculate lateral earth pressure that ...
Technoeconomic Analysis of Hybrid Advanced-Oxidation Processes for the Treatment of Ultrafiltration Filtrate Wastewaters, a Byprocess of Yeast Production
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Yeast production wastewater is an industrial wastewater with a high organic pollutant content, and it has different adverse effects on the environment as untreated discharge. To treat this kind of wastewater with a high ...
Motivational Factors and Challenges of Cooperative Partnerships between Contractors in the Construction Industry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work focuses on motivational factors and challenges of cooperative partnering between contractors in the construction industry. The purpose is to identify the main obstacles to forming such relationships and methods ...
