ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
In a fitting sequel to its entrepreneurship “boot camp” educational lecture series last fall, the MIT Future Founders Initiative has announced the MIT Future Founders Prize Competition, supported by Northpond…
AbstractDesiccation cracking in clayey soil, which may lead to soil erosion, geotechnical engineering accidents, or even environmental pollution, is a serious problem nowadays. This research proposed a multifield coupling discrete-element…
AbstractProjects in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry are known for cost and time pressures that cause stress, which brings excessive workload to employees. As candidate professionals, civil engineering…
AbstractBiofouling triggers a chain of events that are deleterious to engineered systems providing safe water to the population and industry. The frequent use of dissolved biocides to combat biofilm growth…
AbstractAgreeing on the nominal resistance (aka. capacity) derived from any load-settlement curve requires the use of an interpretation criterion. Few of the currently available criteria have been originally designed for…
AbstractTransportation agencies are implementing traffic management strategies to improve mobility and safety on freeways. Ramp metering is a traffic management strategy deployed to mitigate congestion on freeways by using traffic…
AbstractForward contract is a useful tool for hydropower producers to hedge revenue uncertainty sourced from varied spot prices. However, few studies have been explored to jointly derive the optimal forward…
AbstractDepth-induced breaking is the major wave transformation process in coastal waters that significantly influences the wave energy that eventually reaches the coastline. Most studies of depth-induced wave breaking focus on…
Method ExpositionComparing Eq. (11) with the eigenvalue Eq. (13), we obtain the following relationships: (31) (32) The evolution of αi can be studied in two different cases.When |Θi|>1, the second-order Eq. (32) has…
AbstractThis paper aims to highlight the critical problems associated with the construction supply chain (CSC) by analyzing the literature and shedding light on the existing research limitations and gaps. Moreover,…
