RISComparison of Kinematic-Wave and Nonlinear Reservoir Routing of Urban Watershed Runoff
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The linkage of surface runoff in urban areas to water quantity and quality has been studied extensively in the literature. Many computer models based on different routing theories have been developed to simulate the ...
Shear Properties of Stabilized Loess Using Novel Reactive Magnesia-Bearing Binders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Loess stabilization is an effective approach to solve the deformation and subsidence problems in loess areas. Unconsolidated-undrained direct shear tests were conducted to investigate the improving effect of reactive MgO ...

Abstract: Loess stabilization is an effective approach to solve the deformation and subsidence problems in loess areas. Unconsolidated-undrained direct shear tests were conducted to investigate the improving effect of reactive MgO ...
Estimation of Pavement Macrotexture by Principal Component Analysis of Acoustic Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method is developed to estimate the mean texture depth (MTD) value, which to some extent represents pavement quality, using measurements from a microphone mounted underneath a moving vehicle. Such measurements will include ...
Centrifuge Model Test Study on Failure Behavior of Soil Slopes Overlying the Bedrock
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A number of landslides occurred in the soil slopes deposited on the bedrock. The bedrock significantly influenced the failure behavior of the overlying slope, which should be reasonably captured in the slope stability ...
Effect of Overspeeding on the Lateral Stability of a Bus Running on a Curve
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A bus running on straight roads, general curves, or sharp curves is subjected to vehicle dynamics simulation tests under different overspeeding degrees to study the effects of different overspeeding degrees on driving ...
A Modified CLSM Trench Backfilling Method to Provide Immediate Bearing Capacity
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The use of controlled low-strength material (CLSM) to backfill the cut-and-cover pipelines trench under busy streets is getting popular nowadays. Due to the slow hydration rate of cement in CLSM, extra waiting hours are ...
Assessment of Resilient Governance Capacity toward COVID-19 in Chinese Cities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Resilient governance is essential to coping with complicated emergencies such as COVID-19. Existing studies have explored the public health system’s governance capacity and resilient issues. Although local governments play ...
Thermal Integration of Postcombustion CO2 Capture in Existing Natural Gas Combined Cycle–Combined Heat and Power Plant
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume Change Behavior of Natural Expansive Soils Subjected to Acid and Alkali Contamination
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Acid/alkali contamination of expansive soils, which has been probed in recent years, gives rise to unexpected structural failure when exposed. However, a systematic research aiming at evaluating volumetric behavior of ...
