RISExperimental Study of Mechanical Pipe Snubber Seismic Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A series of seismic tests of mechanical snubbers on a full-scale model piping system provided a unique opportunity for detailed scrutiny of snubber seismic behavior on an actual piping system. ...
Interannual Variability of Water Demand and Summer Climate in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of interannual climate variability on water demand in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are assessed. This city provides an ideal setting for examining the effects of climate on urban water demand, because at present ...
Automated Ice Inference and Monitoring on the Veterans’ Glass City Skyway Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Under certain weather conditions, the Veterans’ Glass City Skyway (VGCS) Bridge in Toledo, Ohio, accumulates ice on the stay sheaths in such a way that has led to large fragments falling into traffic lanes. To aid the Ohio ...
Direct Osmotic Pressure Measurements in Articular Cartilage Demonstrate Nonideal and Concentration-Dependent Phenomena
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The osmotic pressure in articular cartilage serves an important mechanical function in healthy tissue. Its magnitude is thought to play a role in advancing osteoarthritis. The aims of this study were to: (1) isolate and ...
Use of Construction Stages to Review a Bridge Finite-Element Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Veterans’ Glass City Skyway (VGCS) is a posttensioned concrete segmental cable-stayed bridge in Toledo, Ohio. The baseline analytical model of the bridge was reviewed using the measured response to construction loads ...
Field Test of Magnetic Methods for Corrosion Detection in Prestressing Strands in Adjacent Box-Beam Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Magnetic methods are progressing in the detection of corrosion in prestressing strands in adjacent precast, prestressed concrete box-beam bridges. This study is the first field trial of magnetic strand defect detection ...
Stay Force Estimation in Cable-Stayed Bridges Using Stochastic Subspace Identification Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a vibration-based approach for estimating the cable tension forces in cable-stayed bridges is detailed and applied to the ambient response of the Veterans’ Glass City Skyway Bridge. First, the frequency ...
Deterioration Assessment and Rehabilitation Design of Existing Steel Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Diagnostic truck-load tests and microstructural analysis were applied for structural deterioration assessment of a steel truss bridge and its rehabilitation design. The feasibility and potential benefits of using advanced ...
Combined Experimental Approach and Finite Element Modeling of Small Molecule Transport Through Joint Synovium to Measure Effective Diffusivity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Trans-synovial solute transport plays a critical role in the clearance of intra-articularly (IA) delivered drugs. In this study, we present a computational finite element model (FEM) of solute transport through the synovium ...
