Evaluating the Impact of Mudstone Swelling on Railway Heave of Ballastless Tracks in the Transition Section Using the DEM-FDM Coupling Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Mudstone is widely distributed in various regions of northwest China. Due to its high susceptibility to swelling when exposed to water, constructing high-speed railways in shale-prone areas often leads to track heave issues. ... -
Evaluating SWMM Modeling Performance for Rapid Flows on Tunnels with Geometric Discontinuities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) has been applied across the globe for citywide stormwater modeling due to its robustness and versatility. Recent research indicated that SWMM, with proper setup, can be applied ... -
Evaluating Microplastic Effects on Performance and Electrochemistry of Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Microplastics (MPs) that are contained in water pose a great threat to the ecological environment, because they have the potential to biomagnify in the food chain, which negatively affects higher trophic level animals that ... -
Evaluating Full-Scale Electrically Conductive Concrete Heated-Pavement Systems to Identify Key Design Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Although electrically conductive concrete (ECON) heated-pavement system (HPS) is a promising alternative to traditional snow-removal methods, the lack of design guidelines for future ECON projects hinders their widespread ... -
A Sustainable Soil Stabilization Technique Using Medical Waste Incineration Ash, Coal-Based Fly Ash, and Polyethylene Terephthalate Strips
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Sustainable soil stabilization refers to using environmentally friendly and long-lasting techniques to improve the strength and durability of the problematic soil, e.g., expansive soil. Using non-energy-intensive ... -
Estimation of Timing of Liquefaction Using Spectral Energy Ratio
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The significant reduction in the stiffness of liquefied soil is accompanied by a decrease in the shear wave velocity, which ultimately results in the softening of the liquefied site. Time–frequency response analysis can ... -
Estimation of Surface Flaw Parameters for Annealed Glass Using Maximum Likelihood Estimator and Comparison with Historical Estimated Surface Flaw Parameters for Weathered and New Annealed Glass Samples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Over the past four decades, surface flaw parameters for the two-parameter glass failure prediction model were estimated based on statistical measures and the researcher’s interpretation of the failure data rather than an ... -
Estimation of Soil Water Characteristic Curve Using Machine-Learning Algorithms and Its Application in Embankment Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The parameters of the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) play a pivotal role in the examination of unsaturated soil behavior. This study employs three machine learning models—random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting ... -
Estimating Joint Probabilities for Confluences across CONUS Using Copula
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Hydraulic structure design near stream confluences requires meticulous consideration of combined flows from both tributaries, especially when the structure is located on small tributaries that drain into larger downstream ... -
Estimating Erosion Degradation of Deep-Sea Mining Transportation Pipes Using a Discrete Phase Simulation Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Deep-sea mining transportation pipe connects the seabed mining vehicle and the buffer station, which plays a critical role in the deep-sea mining system. During the transportation of minerals, deep-sea mining pipes can be ... -
Establishment of Methods to Identify Pollution Sources in a River Reach through Receptor Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Given scientific and technological advances, the proportion of industrialization has increased, making industrial wastewater pollution more harmful to the environment and human health. Identifying sources of pollution in ... -
