Abstract: The governing equations of two-temperature generalized magneto-thermoelasticity with hydrostatic initial stress are specialized in two dimensions and are solved for surface wave solutions. The appropriate solutions in a ...

Abstract: Recent cases of damage to mountain tunnels have raised concerns about the seismic performance of underground structures. The damaged sections have been majorly observed in highly fractured and weathered geological regions. ...

Abstract: The response of tunnel excavations in blocky rock mass is dominated by the presence of discontinuities. However, many of the studies reported in the literature consider these geological features in a simplistic manner by ...

Abstract: For an efficient and economical design of a railway track system, it is necessary to understand the behavior of each track component with special reference to ballast and subgrade, which play a pivotal role in distributing ...

Abstract: The present study demonstrates the relationships between pavement roughness and distress parameters like potholes, raveling, rut depth, cracked areas, and patch work. The pavement distress data collected on four national ...

Abstract: The effect of vertical baffles as the passive control in liquid storage tanks (LSTs) on the reduction of seismic responses was investigated for bidirectional earthquake excitations. Various baffle configurations were ...

Abstract: The studies on the seismic control of a secondary system (S-system) in the base-isolated primary system under multicomponent earthquake is scanty. In this study, an S-system response mounted on a floor of a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Due to the near blast condition, columns on the front face of the building may snap off in the blast load’s initial state, leading to a condition of the blast load and progressive collapse effects occurring simultaneously. ...

Abstract: Severe damage and failure of liquid storage tanks (LSTs) due to earthquakes have been observed. Consequently, various strategies for alleviating the seismic safety of LSTs have evolved, of which energy dissipative devices ...

Abstract: Precast construction shows significant growth nowadays because of its advantages over traditional cast in situ construction. There are two main types of precast systems: moment-resisting frames (MRFs) and structural ...
