ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractThis paper presents the results of a series of laboratory experiments, by placing a turbulent wall jet in the upstream and downstream of a 90° channel bend, to investigate the…
AbstractGround improvement (GI) techniques have shown promise in effective liquefaction mitigation, but the physical mechanisms governing their three-dimensional (3D) response during dynamic loading are not yet fully understood. To evaluate…
AbstractFractured horizontal wells and water-flooding development are effective means to stabilize oil production in low-permeability reservoirs; however, transient pressure behavior analysis based on a single-well testing model ignores the interference…
AbstractConstruction projects are premised upon contractual arrangements, and contracts constitute the basis of their success. A contract enables execution of work and transfer of payments, tracking of key performance indicators,…
AbstractThis study used multicriteria decision analysis to quantitatively compare two prototype buildings, both designed using equivalent mass timber and steel structural systems across four decision criteria of seismic resiliency, global…
AbstractPoor mental health has become rampant in the construction industry globally, causing productivity and profit losses for organizations as well as disabilities and diminished quality of life for workers. Addressing…
AbstractIn the US federal system, state governments play important roles between the federal and local levels in water resources planning, coordination, and regulation. How they coordinate these functions can indicate…
AbstractIn September 2021, the Biden administration issued an executive order requiring companies that enter into federal contracts to require and verify that their employees are vaccinated against COVID-19. The executive…
AbstractMixed multiple seismic systems (MMSSs) are ideally suited for sustainable seismic design (SSD). MMSSs are combinations of two or more different earthquake-resisting structures (ERSs) that provide lateral support for gravity…
AbstractModular construction increasingly is used for building projects to improve productivity, quality, and sustainability. However, interfaces between modules and site-based works are complex, and often cause problems that hinder the…
