Numerical prediction of underwater noise induced by non-cavitating/cavitating propellers
(2022-05-11)
In this work, a systematic procedure of analyzing marine propeller performance and its underwater acoustics is delineated. The main focus is laid on the numerical prediction of hull pressure fluctuations and far-field ...
Resource allocation frameworks for resilience management of interdependent infrastructure network
(2022-05-06)
Throughout their lifetime, critical infrastructure networks are exposed to risks from external hazards and threats, such as natural hazards, terrorist attacks, and cyber-attacks. Since modern urban infrastructure systems ...
Examining the impacts of a vehicle miles traveled fee for daily weekday travel : a case study of Oregon
(2022-05-03)
Mileage-based taxes have been suggested as a long-term solution for collecting fees from highway users. Clustering was used to group respondents to an Oregon traveler survey based on daily travel characteristics. State ...
Rapid characterization of emission parameters of semi-volatile organic compounds for building materials and consumer products
(2022-08-30)
Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), such as phthalates, organophosphates, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), are emerging pollutants associated with serious health concerns. SVOCs are extensively used as ...
Urban aerosol : role of sources and atmospheric processes
(2022-08-30)
Outdoor air pollution has detrimental health effects resulting in substantial global and regional decrements in life expectancy. More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas making it important to understand ...
An investigation of network partitioning to enhance performance of parallelized drainage models
(2022-08-16)
Water drainage modeling codes need to be updated with parallel simulation capability to leverage modern computational trends. Parallelized finite-difference/volume simulation of 1D networks implies a solution to the network ...
Parametric collapse evaluation of steel moment resisting frames with fuse connections
(2022-08-12)
Recent research has investigated a low damage seismic design concept for steel moment resisting frames (MRFs): the moment resisting fuse connection. Fuse connections are moment resisting connections that yield prior to the ...
Novel approaches to benchmark capital project performance : an application to healthcare projects
(2022-08-30)
Benchmarking is defined as a process of continuous improvement based on the comparison of an organization’s processes with those identified as best practice, thereby allowing for establishing improvement targets and promoting ...
3D strut-and-tie design recommendations for column and drilled shaft anchorages in drilled shaft footings
(2022-08-05)
A drilled shaft footing is a deep structural member subjected to nonlinear strain distribution, known as D-regions, and therefore recommended to be designed using the strut-and-tie method (STM). Drilled shaft footings ...
An investigation of factors affecting interface shear resistance between pipes and soils
(2022-09-12)
To develop a better understanding of the behavior at a pipe-soil interface under axial loading, this study investigated the effects of pipe curvature, time, and cyclic loading through the use of model tests. These tests ...
