RISStructural Evaluation of Tall Steel Moment-Resisting Structures in Simulated Horizontally Traveling Postearthquake Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Postearthquake fire (PEF) can result in a catastrophe even worse than the earthquake itself. Investigating the effect of PEF loads on structures is thus of paramount importance. On the other hand, because of the complexity ...

Development of Maglev Guideway Loading Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Magnetic levitation (maglev) has already captured the demanding eyes of worldwide transportation networks. However, there is hardly any report of practical algorithms for systematic calculations of loading on guideways of ...
Horizontal Displacement of Urban Deep Excavated Walls Supported by Multistrands Anchors, Steel Piles, and In Situ Concrete Piles: Case Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deep excavations are commonly used in urban areas due to the extreme increase in ground worth. Stability and displacement of adjacent structures are two main design criteria in stabilized excavated walls. In this paper, ...
Determination of Continuum Fracture Parameters for a Particulate Composite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rocket motor grain consists of rigid particles embedded in a soft, rubbery matrix. The ingredients are chosen to maximize the burning properties, but when cracks develop during curing or storage, ...
Limitations of the Short Bearing Approximation in Dynamically Loaded Narrow Hydrodynamic Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transient solutions are still widely used for evaluating the vibrational behavior of rotor bearing systems containing dynamically loaded journal bearings with large unbalance, or noncircular orbit ...
Key Attitudes: Unlocking the Relationships between Emotional Intelligence and Performance in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A large body of empirical and theoretical work has identified associations between emotional intelligence and positive outcomes in large-scale projects. However, scholars have yet to fully understand the mechanisms underlying ...
Applying a Theta-Krill Herd Algorithm to Energy Management of a Microgrid Considering Renewable Energies and Varying Weather Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in using renewable-based distributed generations (DGs) in microgrids (MGs). Therefore, the economic operation of MGs plays a vital role in reducing total daily costs ...
Evaluation of the Anti-Fouling Effects of Micro-Nano Bubbles on the Performance of Reverse Osmosis Membrane
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Colloidal fouling on a brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) membrane was simulated by a lab-scale plate-and-frame module in the presence and absence of air micro-nano bubbles (AMNBs). Synthetic feed water samples with the ...
Nondestructive Shear Stiffness Evaluation of EPS-Sand Composites Using Quartz and Calcareous Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads inclusion on the shear stiffness of a quartz-based material and a calcareous-based material has been examined by performing a comprehensive series of non-destructive bender ...
