Analysis of Firewater Accumulation and the Securing of Vehicles on ROPAX Vessels
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)During the process of firefighting on the vehicle deck of a roll on/roll off cargo and passenger (ROPAX) vessel, firewater accumulation and cargo shift can lead to the unexpected and rapid worsening of the situation. This ... -
Internal Piping Erosion Evaluation of Embankment Dam Considering the Spatial Variability of Soil Properties
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)Piping erosion is a crucial trigger for dam breaches. However, the effects of inherent spatial variability on seepage properties have not been considered adequately, which could lead to a significant underestimation of the ... -
Design of Minimum Horizontal Curve Radius in Plateau Areas: Psychophysiological Approach
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)The unique natural geographic environment at high altitudes, characterized by low partial pressure, significantly reduces blood oxygen levels and affects human systems. These impacts directly influence drivers’ psychophysiological ... -
A Fuzzy Bayesian Network–Based Method for Evaluating the Leakage Risk of STS LNG Bunkering
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)As a promising clean fuel, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been considered as the alternative energy for ships and the LNG-fueled vessels has sharply increased in recent years. However, the leakage of LNG has become a ... -
An Improved Dempster–Shafer Evidence Theory Based on the Chebyshev Distance and Its Application in Rock Burst Prewarnings
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)The prewarning and responses of different monitoring indices are out of sync in engineering disaster warning, and the disaster risk assessment is inaccurate based on individual response index or comparison with different ... -
An Integrated Maneuverability–Based Ship Domain at Close Quarters
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)An integrated ship domain at close quarters is proposed based on the mutual interaction and maneuvering capabilities of the meeting ships. Firstly, the significance and conditions of mutual interaction and maneuvering ... -
Analysis of Human Competitive Behavior on an Inclined Ship
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)When a ship accident occurs, emergency evacuation of passengers in a shorter time is one of the most effective means of reducing casualties. However, in addition to the ship inclination, the efficiency of the emergency ... -
Employing an Interpretive Structural Modeling–System Dynamics Approach for Deep Foundation Pit Risk Assessment Model
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)Deep foundation construction is characterized by significant unpredictability and growing uncertainty, which creates dynamic risks. Given that deep foundation construction is vulnerable to extreme weather conditions and ... -
