RISFull State Feedback Control of Steam Temperature in a Once Through Direct Steam Generation Receiver Powered by a Paraboloidal Dish
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oncethrough direct steam generation (DSG) plants convert water into superheated steam suitable for a steam turbine with a single pass of the fluid through the receiver. The control problem in such a plant is to set a ...
Simulating Elevation and Infiltration in Level-Basin Irrigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several authors have reported that the spatial variability of infiltration and soil surface elevation can have a pronounced effect on surface irrigation performance. This study was conducted to assess the improvement of ...
Energy Consumption of Asphalt and Reinforced Concrete Pavement Materials and Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In addition to traditional economic and technical objectives, environmental impact, and sustainability are increasingly being considered in the design of roadways and other infrastructure projects. This paper presents an ...
Effect of Wetting and Drying Cycles on the Behavior of Compacted Expansive Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Method for Estimating System Stiffness for Excavation Support Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Excessive excavation-induced movements are major concerns for most underground construction projects in urban areas. These movements can lead to significant damage in adjacent structures. When average to good workmanship ...
Effects of Construction-Induced Stresses on Dynamic Soil Parameters of Bootlegger Cove Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the influence of construction-induced stress changes on the dynamic soil parameters of Bootlegger Cove Formation (BCF) clays at the site of the Port of Anchorage (POA) expansion project. Results are ...
Collapse Study of an Unreinforced Masonry Bearing Wall Building Subjected to Internal Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A blast test was conducted inside a conventional, two-story, unreinforced, brick, bearing wall building scheduled to be demolished. A credible explosive device was placed inside the building on the ground floor and was ...
Laminated Glass Curtain Walls and Laminated Glass Lites Subjected to Low-Level Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear elastic and nonlinear elastic analytical investigations are reported for a nearly conventional, laminated glass curtain wall with split screw spline mullions subjected to low-level blast loading. Responses (dynamic ...
Pore Water Pressure Response of Soil Subjected to Dynamic Loading under Saturated and Unsaturated Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents the results of one of the first attempts to characterize the pore water pressure response of soils subjected to dynamic loading under saturated and unsaturated conditions. The resilient modulus, which ...
Right‐of‐Way Plats Developed on Computer‐Aided Design Drafting System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There have been significant changes in the way right‐of‐way plats are prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) in the last 60 years and particularly over the past decade with the advent of computer‐aided ...
