RISCollective Action and Vulnerable Populations: Interorganizational Collaboration for Undocumented Immigrants’ Disaster Safety Following Hurricane Irma 2017
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This qualitative case study aims to gain a greater understanding of collective action among organizations assisting undocumented immigrants in South Apopka, Florida, following Hurricane Irma in 2017. In-depth semistructured ...
Forging New Project Value Chain—Paradigm Shift
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses a major shift in systems thinking from the hard “systematic” to the soft “systemic” approach in project management. The systematic thinking treats project organizations as organic human activity systems ...
Risks, Classification of Estimates, and Contingency Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risks of cost overruns are invariably present in major projects. Cost risks can be managed. The management of cost risks begins with a systematic risk evaluation and appropriate allocation of contingency. This paper proposes ...
Multiple Points-In-Time Estimation of Peak Wind Effects on Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the problems encountered in the estimation of wind effects on high-rise structures is the development of combinations of wind-induced translational responses in possible conjunction with rotational responses and/or ...
Generation of Large Directional Wind Speed Data Sets for Estimation of Wind Effects with Long Return Periods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For structures sensitive to wind directionality, methods for the estimation of wind effects require the use of time series of directional wind speeds that cover time periods exceeding the length of the mean recurrence ...
Alignment between Disaster Policies and Practice: Characteristics of Interorganizational Response Coordination Following 2016 Hurricane Matthew in Florida
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examines the alignments between disaster policies and frameworks to disaster response practice by exploring characteristics of interorganizational coordination operated in Florida during Hurricane Matthew in ...
Large Eddy Simulations of Model-Scale Turbulent Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Finite Element Analysis of Thermoelastic Contact Stability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When heat is conducted across an interface between two dissimilar materials, theimoelastic distortion affects the contact pressure distribution. The existence of a pressure-sensitive thermal contact ...
Measurement of Convective Entrainment Using Lagrangian Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: agrangian particle tracking is used in a large-eddy simulation to study an individual cumulus congestus. This allows for the direct measurement of the convective entrainment rate and of the residence times of entrained ...
Second-Order Effects on Wind-Induced Structural Behavior of High-Rise Steel Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates second-order effects on wind-induced structural dynamic behavior of a 6-story high-rise steel structure known as the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) building model. These ...
