Abstract: Monorail bridges play an important role in urban transportation networks, and their proper seismic performance is an issue of great concern in earthquake-prone countries. Seismic isolation is a strategy that protects the ...

Abstract: Ring foundations are a distinct category of shallow foundations designed for the bearing loads of symmetrical structures with circular planes, such as bridge piers, liquid storage tanks, and wind turbines. In this study, ...

Abstract: Salinity ranks high among the list of parameters which demand attention during the planning and management of water quality, particularly for drinking and irrigation. If water quality is adequately predicted, then the ...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of polymer 2 hydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) with different amounts (3%, 5%, and 7% by weight) on physical and high-temperature rheological properties of bitumen. ...

Abstract: The reflections of waves collide with the slope, and the reduction in the ground lateral stiffness in the areas near the slope crest affects buildings. In this research, using the three-dimensional simulation, the seismic ...

Abstract: Buildings have different seismic responses in the topographic-soil–structural interaction (TSSI) conditions from those in the soil–structural interaction (SSI). This study utilizes 3D numerical analyses to investigate the ...

Abstract: The aging of bitumen occurs during heating of bitumen and production, storage, transport, laying, and compaction of hot mix asphalt and asphalt pavement serviceability time. This study investigated the effect of poly ...
