RISIdealized Automated Control of Sloping Canals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation of the automated, downstream control of sloping-top canals using an idealized controller is presented here. The case for an idealized formulation of canal control is given and a simplified, idealized control ...
Proposed Design Process for Deep Energy Savings in Commercial Building Retrofit Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing buildings, or those constructed before 2000, make up approximately 90% of the commercial building stock in the U.S. Existing buildings represent a large opportunity for reducing energy consumption in the U.S., ...
Life-Cycle Assessment for Construction of Sustainable Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry faces increasing demands on its projects while budgets appear to be shrinking. Building owners and operators seem to want their buildings to do more for less cost. ...
Identifying and Categorizing Risks Incumbent in US Nuclear Power Plant Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the US, nuclear power plants offer a means of generating power with less carbon emissions and higher efficiency as compared to traditional fossil plants. Because of this, they offer a solution that meets the requirements ...
The National Meteorological Center's Spectral Statistical-Interpolation Analysis System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: At the National Meteorological Center (NMC), a new analysis system is being extensively tested for possible use in the operational global data assimilation system. This analysis system is called the spectral statistical- ...
An Interactive System for Processing PMS Two-Dimensional Imaging Probe Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A system for interactively editing Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) two-dimensional (2-D) probe data, which has been processed using automated techniques is described. The system allows for reassignment of particle habits ...
Cal Poly Model Canal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Cal Poly Model Canal, located at the Water Delivery Facility, Irrigation Training and Research Center, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Calif., was built to accommodate the study and promotion ...
Benefits of Grooving on Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding FRP Wet-Out of RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) externally bonded to RC beams is commonly applied by hand layup. Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), a novel application method in infrastructure, can produce FRP with more-consistent ...
Savings to Sustainability: Application of a Novel Approach to Delivering a Sustainable Built Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a novel finance project delivery concept, savings to sustainability (S2S), that bridges the existing gaps between energy projects implemented using alternative financing mechanisms, sustainability ...
Improved Approach to LIDAR Airport Obstruction Surveying Using Full-Waveform Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the past decade, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Geodetic Survey, in collaboration with multiple organizations, has conducted research into airport obstruction surveying using airborne ...
