RISMethodology for Analyzing Dissolved Oxygen Consumption in Benthic Chambers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dissolved oxygen (DO) consumption in the sediments of natural aquatic ecosystems occurs by mass flux across the water-sediment interface. This mass flux is determined as either the rate of oxygen consumption in the sediment ...
Sustainability-Oriented Approach to Assist Decision Makers in Building Facade Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The building sector has a major economic, environmental, and social impact on society; hence, it is crucial to promote sustainable construction practice. The facade is one of the largest main components of a building, which ...
Multicriteria Decision-Making Method for Sustainable Site Location of Post-Disaster Temporary Housing in Urban Areas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many people lose their homes around the world every year because of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, the displaced people (DP) have to move to temporary ...
Nonlinear, Phase-Based Oscillator to Generate and Assist Periodic Motions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oscillatory behavior is important for tasks, such as walking and running. We are developing methods for wearable robotics to add energy to enhance or vary the oscillatory behavior based on the system's phase angle. We ...
Evaluation of Fatigue Bond Strength of Anchorage Zones with a Mechanical Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper describes a numerical model to analyze the fatigue behavior of RC anchorage zones. The model takes into account the cycle-dependent bond-slip behavior at the steel-concrete interface and is able to reproduce the ...
GPS at Nottingham University
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The University of Nottingham has been involved with GPS (global positioning system) research since 1983 and has developed a package of computer programs capable of processing GPS data from a variety of different receivers. ...

Abstract: Many people lose their homes around the world every year because of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, the displaced people (DP) have to move to temporary ...
Service-Life Assessment of Existing Precast Concrete Structure Exposed to Severe Marine Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The overall performance of a concrete structure is considered to be a key issue when determining its service life. The widespread use of precast concrete and consideration of durability as a design parameter in most of the ...
Influence of the Type of Fiber on the Structural Response and Design of FRC Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most codes for the design of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) structures are based on experience gained over the years with steel fibers. Recent codes include the possibility of applying the same considerations for FRC ...
A Simple Nonlinear and End-Member-Free Approach for Obtaining Ocean Remineralization Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe variability of a biogeochemical property in the ocean is the outcome of both nonconservative (such as respiration and photosynthesis) and conservative (mixing of water masses with distinct concentrations at ...
