Abstract: Conventional limit equilibrium methods are commonly used to assess the stability of embankments. The finite-element method, as an alternative to limit equilibrium methods, is being increasingly used in the deterministic ...

Abstract: Stabilities of surface-tension-driven convection in an open cylinder are investigated numerically. The cylinder is heated laterally through its sidewall and is cooled at free surface by radiation. ...

Abstract: The system identification and vibration control of a cable-stayed bridge are considered difficult to achieve due to the bridge’s structural complexity and system uncertainties. In this paper, based on the concept of ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation into the properties of ambient cured one-part alkali-activated materials (AAMs). Mixes incorporating waste glass (WG), ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash ...

Abstract: The printing of a thin line of liquid onto a moving flat solid substrate was studied numerically. For a fixed value of the Capillary number, the window of steady state deposition was explored ...

Abstract: Traditional elliptic harbor wave models are based on the assumptions that the region outside the computational grid is of constant depth and that the exterior coastlines are collinear and fully reflecting. These assumptions, ...

Abstract: The prediction of air quality parameters is of great interest in environmental studies today due to the health impact caused by airborne pollutants [e.g., sulfur dioxide
