Abstract: Railway track ballast requires regular attention to maintain line and level. A recently developed maintenance method, known as pneumatic ballast injection (PBI) or stoneblowing, re-levels and realigns the track by lifting ...

Abstract: Finite element analysis of dynamic foundation problems requires the use of transmitting boundaries to model the radiation of waves from the finite element mesh into the far field. Problems involving inelastic behavior of ...

Abstract: An intense, anticyclonic, warm core winter eddy off the east coast of Australia was surveyed with an airborne radiation thermometer, expendable bathythermographs and a continuously recording surface thermosalinograph in ...

Abstract: Few studies on the anchorage of reinforcing bars under the compressive conditions have been undertaken. This paper reports the results of 99 pushout tests done to investigate the compressive bond anchorage properties of ...

Abstract: Ship and air surveys were conducted in 1978?79 to examine the thermal structure in and near the Tasman Front between Australia and New Zealand at latitudes between Brisbane and Bass Strait. After separation from the ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the capacity of bridge abutments, which is an important element for the evaluation of the seismic performance of bridges with integral or semi-integral abutments and yet has received little attention ...

Abstract: Multi-parameter-path length method for resilience (MP-PLMR) has been proposed to determine the resilience of system multiparameter considerations. It was applied to two engineering situations: (i) Passive catalytic device ...
