RISDetermination of Salt Deposition Rates From Drift From Evaporative Cooling Towers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for estimating the deposition rate of the salt ejected in drift drops from a cooling tower in which salt water is circulated. The surface ...
Structural Performance of a Floating Breakwater for Different Mooring Line Typologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the current study, the effect of mooring line typology and layout upon the structural behavior of a floating breakwater (FB) is studied. Different elastic anchor stiffness levels and initial pretensions were analyzed ...
Freezing of Water Droplets in Equilibrium with Different Gases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water droplets in thermal equilibrium with gases of different solubilities were frozen at temperatures between ?4 and ?14C, in order to observe the influence of the volume of dissolved gas on the shattering of the droplet. ...
Effective Partnering in Innovative Procured Multicultural Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective partnering has been shown to improve projects in numerous ways including cost, schedule, safety, quality, and claims. However, partnering in a multicultural, multiphase environment has some additional challenges. ...
Effect of Delivery Systems on Collaborative Negotiations for Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In large-scale projects, collaboration is an essential key for the success of projects. Since different participants from different organizations try to work together in projects, competitive stresses exist in their ...
Information Technology Planning Framework for Japanese General Contractors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: their IT investments remains an important managerial concern. Recently, Peña-Mora, Vadhavkar, Perkins, and Weber introduced a strategic IT planning framework for construction projects that includes four steps: environmental scan, internal scrutiny, IT diffusion...
Distributed Multi-Reasoning Mechanism to Support Conceptual Structural Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The conceptual phase of structural design involves selecting preliminary materials, selecting the overall structural form of the building, producing a rough dimensional layout, and considering technological possibilities. ...
Analytical Study of the Effects of the Clogging of a Mechanical Precipitator Unit in Air Preheaters in a High-Performance Thermoelectric Power Plant Based on Available Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Following a detailed study of two of the mechanical precipitators in the air preheaters of a thermoelectric power plant, a large amount of ash that was deposited on one of the inlet conduits ...
Hybrid Model Incorporating Real Options with Process Centric and System Dynamics Modeling to Assess Value of Investments in Alternative Dispute Resolution Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Project-specific dispute resolution ladders (DRLs) are typically implemented in construction projects to resolve issues arising between the project participants. The DRL typically consists of single or multiple alternative ...
Dynamic Planning for Fast-Tracking Building Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fast-tracking delivery method has received considerable attention over the last decade, and its time saving feature has placed it as a possible alternative to the traditional more sequential method. Along with its ...
