RISAnalysis of the Influence Factors of a Hydraulic Compactor to Reinforce the Subgrade on the Back of an Abutment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To study the dynamic influence of a hydraulic compactor reinforcing the subgrade on the back of an abutment and based on the subgrade filling project of an abutment back in the transition section of a high-speed bridge and ...
Vibrations of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes With Different Boundary Conditions Between Inner and Outer Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Free vibrations of a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) are studied. The inner and outer carbon nanotubes are modeled as two individual elastic beams interacting each other by van der Waals ...
Identification of Nonlinearity Using Transfer Entropy Combined with Surrogate Data Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical time-delayed transfer entropy method combined with a surrogate data algorithm is proposed to identify the nonlinearities in the vibration data of structures with damages without the use of baseline data. ...
Semi-Analytical Approach to Evaluate Seismic Passive Earth Pressures Considering the Effects of Soil Cohesion and a Curvilinear Failure Surface
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The widely acknowledged Mononobe-Okabe (MO) model is not recommended for seismic passive earth pressures analysis because it yields nonconservative results when the ratio of the wall’s to the soil’s frictional angle is ...
An Outdoor Experiment of a Lens Walled Compound Parabolic Concentrator Photovoltaic Module on a Sunny Day in Nottingham
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A lenswalled compound parabolic concentrator (lenswalled CPC) has a larger half acceptance angle than a mirror CPC for the same geometrical concentration ratio of 2.5X, so it would be more suitable for the buildingintegrated ...
Coupled Hydraulic and Kalman Filter Model for Real-Time Correction of Flood Forecast in the Three Gorges Interzone of Yangtze River, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Three Gorges Project along the Yangtze River in China, as one of the biggest hydropower-complex projects in the world, plays a significant role in the economic development of the area even of the whole nation. An ...
Derivation of Hydropower Rules for Multireservoir Systems and Its Application for Optimal Reservoir Storage Allocation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydropower operating rules can guide reservoir release and storage for maximizing hydropower generation. The optimal hydropower operating rules are usually derived by numerical hydropower simulation methods. This study ...
Quantifying the Impact of Compounding Influencing Factors to the Water Level Decline of China’s Largest Freshwater Lake
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As a large open lake that connects to the lower Yangtze River, the Poyang Lake, China, has persisted dramatic water level decline since 2003. For better management of lake water resources and ecosystem, this study ...
Study of I-Shape Steel Beams Subjected to Combined Fire and Impact Loading and Failure Assessment Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the dynamic response and fire performance of steel beams under high temperature, drop hammer impact tests and numerical simulations were conducted on steel beams subjected to high temperatures. Three finite ...
