RISDevelopment and Application of an Anisotropic Two-Equation Model for Flows With Swirl and Curvature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An anisotropic two-equation model is developed through a novel technique that involves the representation of the energy spectrum and invariance based scaling. In this approach the effect of ...
Characteristics of a New-Type Geocell Flexible Retaining Wall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geocell flexible retaining wall is a new type of retaining structure constructed by stacking three-dimensional network geocells filled with soil or gravel. The writers analyzed the interaction among wall, reinforced layers, ...
Neurofuzzy Decision Support System for Efficient Risk Allocation in Public-Private Partnership Infrastructure Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects is largely contingent on whether the adopted risk allocation (RA) strategy is efficient. Theoretical frameworks drawing on the transaction cost ...
Fouling of Reverse Osmosis Membranes by Aluminum Oxide Colloids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fouling experiments of thin film composite and cellulose acetate reverse osmosis membranes by aluminum oxide colloids are reported. Membrane fouling was investigated at various solution chemistries under fixed hydrodynamic ...
Determinants of Efficient Risk Allocation in Privately Financed Public Infrastructure Projects in Australia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk allocation in privately financed public infrastructure projects, which are mainly referred to as public-private partnership (PPP) projects, is a challenging job due to the nature of incomplete contracting. An investigation ...
Model for Efficient Risk Allocation in Privately Financed Public Infrastructure Projects Using Neuro-Fuzzy Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk allocation plays a critical role in privately financed public infrastructure projects. Project performance is contingent on whether the adopted risk-allocation strategy can lead to efficient risk management. Founded ...
Effect of Shock Wave Incidence Angle on the Dynamic Splitting Mechanical Properties of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete: Experiment and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) can resist explosive loads, but the propagation process of explosive shock waves inside concrete is complex. To investigate the effect of shock wave incidence angles on the dynamic splitting ...
Performance Comparison of Enthalpy Recovery Devices Using Liquid Desiccant and Desiccant Wheel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat recovery between outdoor air and indoor exhaust air is an effective approach for energy-saving in the air-conditioning system. Performances of enthalpy recovery devices using liquid desiccant (LD) and desiccant wheel ...
Exploring the Effects of Variable Speed Limit on the Car-Following Process on Bridges in Fog with Consideration of Human Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fog is a critical risk of river-crossing bridges. Setting a reasonable speed limit is essential to ensure safe operation when driving on river-crossing bridges in foggy conditions. According to the existing variable speed ...
An Aerodynamic Investigation of the Last-Stage Turbine in an Upgraded Gas Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the lengthy certification process for newly designed turbine blades, product upgrading of industrial gas turbine units is often performed solely on compressor and combustor. Since their inlet conditions are significantly ...
