RISGreen Project Finance for Infrastructure and Building Construction: Instruments and Benchmarks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractIt is counterintuitive that both the practice and research on green project finance
for infrastructure and building construction are ascendant and still have limited
precedents, considering that individually, the ...
Representative Volumes of Composite Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Representative volume (RV) of a composite material is important not only for experimental determination of materials properties, but also for theoretical analysis of various properties of the materials. RV is a random ...
Data-Driven Pattern Analysis of Attributes Influencing Transportation Construction Program Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThere is a growing consensus that transportation construction projects have an influence
beyond the provision of reliable infrastructure and significantly impact socioeconomic
advancements. This is reflected in ...
Use of Recycled Glass and Fly Ash for Precast Concrete

Composite Damage Models for Diffusivity of Distressed Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A distressed material can be considered as a two-phase composite material with the distressed areas (volumes) as one phase and the original material as the other phase. A parallel diffusion model was developed in which the ...
Theoretical Modeling of the Effects of Neutron Irradiation on Properties of Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To ensure safe operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) during their extended service life, comprehensive investigation of the behavior of concrete structures and their components under long-term nuclear radiation is needed. ...
Dissecting Highway Construction Cost Inflation: A Two-Decade Analysis of Inflation Types Using the National Highway Construction Cost Index
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractHighway construction cost inflation has reached historic highs, outpaced overall inflation,
and significantly eroded the purchasing power of planned funding. Little empirical
research has differentiated inflation ...
Forecasting the Construction Expenditure Cash Flow for Transportation Design-Build Projects with a Case-Based Reasoning Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Accurately forecasting the construction expenditure cash flow of transportation projects is critical for state departments of transportation (state DOTs) to secure sufficient funding to cover their fiscal obligations ...
Modeling Chloride Penetration in Saturated Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model is established for chloride penetration in saturated concrete. The model takes into account various influential parameters such as water-to-cement ratio, curing time, types of cement, and aggregate ...
Stochastic Drying and Creep Effects in Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper calculates how an aging concrete structure that has an uncertain constitutive law and random material properties responds to the random process of environmental humidity history. The time evolution of stochastic ...
