RISNonstructural Considerations in Design of Blast-Resistant Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Blast-resistant control centers are essential to the safe operation of an industrial plant. More importantly, they are essential for the safe shutdown of a plant after an emergency. Structural design of these facilities ...
ARMA Representation of Random Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: ARMA models of the same order for AR and MA components are used for the characterization and simulation of stationary Gaussian multivariate random processes with zero mean. The coefficient matrices of the ARMA models are ...
Engineers’ Roles and Responsibilities in Automated Vehicle Ethics: Exploring Engineering Codes of Ethics as a Guide to Addressing Issues in Sociotechnical Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The ethical implications for the engineering profession of the development and deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) can be explored by analyzing the implications of AVs across three major socio-technical systems—technology, ...
Improving Short-Term Travel Speed Prediction with High-Resolution Spatial and Temporal Rainfall Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Heavy rainfall events are becoming more common in many areas with escalating climate change, and these events can considerably affect travel speed and road safety. It is critical to understand when and how rainfall events ...
Social Equity of Bridge Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Data-driven social equity assessments of infrastructure performance are essential for reducing inequity and for institutionalizing community stakeholder considerations in infrastructure asset management programs. We expand ...
Framing the Use of Climate Model Projections in Infrastructure Engineering: Practices, Uncertainties, and Recommendations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An overview of applying global climate model (GCM) projections of temperature and precipitation in infrastructure engineering is provided, with summarized general procedures, a review of commonly used projection products ...
Measurement of Volume and Resistivity Changes in High-Pressure Experiments by an A-C Inductive Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A coil wound on a sample core subjected to high pressures may be used to measure compressibility and electrical resistivity of the core. In a first approximation, the coil reactance reflects ...
Framework for Incorporating Downscaled Climate Output into Existing Engineering Methods: Application to Precipitation Frequency Curves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To improve the resiliency of designs, particularly for long-lived infrastructure, current engineering practice must be updated to incorporate a range of future climate conditions that are likely to be different from the ...
A Study of Pressure Homogeneity in the Hexahedral Anvil High-Pressure Apparatus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study of operational characteristics and stress distribution in a large volume hexahedral apparatus has been made. Pyrophyllite containers with integral preformed gaskets were found to be ...
Estimating the Consumptive Use Costs of Shale Natural Gas Extraction on Pennsylvania Roadways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of natural gas resources in the Marcellus Shale formation has progressed rapidly in the last several years, particularly in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These activities require many heavy truck trips ...
