RISMechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Mortars Containing Rubber Waste Particles as Fine Aggregate in Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the possibility of using rubber waste particles (RWP) as a substitute for fine aggregate type in mortar, which can provide valuable results in reducing both natural resource consumption and environmental ...
Contribution of Built Environment Design Elements to the Sustainability of Urban Renewal Projects: Model Proposal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban renewal aims to solve the problems caused by unplanned urbanization and urban aging, and it presents a significant opportunity to create sustainable urban areas in Turkey, where a major urban renewal movement was ...
Potential Use of Locked Brick Infill Walls to Decrease Soft-Story Formation in Frame Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a new type of infill—called locked brick infill adopting horizontal sliding joints—in reducing the soft-story formation in reinforced concrete (RC) frames with ...
2,4,6 Tri-Chlorophenol Containing Wastewater Treatment Using a Hybrid-Loop Bioreactor System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A hybrid-loop bioreactor system consisting of a packed column biofilm and an aerated tank bioreactor with an effluent recycle was used for biological treatment of 2,4,6 tri-chlorophenol (TCP) containing synthetic wastewater. ...
Investigation of the Linear Stability Problem of Electrified Jets, Inviscid Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The instability characteristics of a liquid jet discharging from a nozzle into a stagnant gas are investigated using the linear stability theory. Starting with the equations of motion for ...
Progressive Collapse Resistance of Hotel San Diego
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Progressive collapse resistance of an actual six-story reinforced concrete frame structure is evaluated following predefined initial damage. The initial damage was caused by the simultaneous explosion (removal) of two ...
Progressive Collapse-Resisting Mechanisms of Reinforced Concrete Structures and Effects of Initial Damage Locations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Computational simulations for analyzing progressive collapse resistance of structures following initial damage require specific attention to structural modeling of floor systems. In collapse analysis of RC structures, it ...
Rotating-Perforated-Tubes Biofilm Reactor for High-Strength Wastewater Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A rotating-perforated-tubes biofilm reactor was used for treatment of synthetic wastewater at different operating conditions. The biofilm reactor consisted of two sections each having 25 perforated tubes mounted on three ...
Chemical Properties of Blended Cement Pastes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study establishes the chemical properties of blended cement pastes to understand the effect of marble and brick powders on cement chemical properties. Thus, this paper extends knowledge of construction material handling ...
Mixed-Mode Fracture Analysis of Orthotropic Functionally Graded Material Coatings Using Analytical and Computational Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents analytical and computational methods for mixed-mode fracture analysis of an orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) coating-bond coat-substrate structure. The analytical ...
