Abstract: A practical method is presented for modeling of two-dimensional arbitrary shape aggregates. An efficient algorithm is developed for mass concrete whose aggregate content reaches 60–70%. All the same kind of random triangular ...

Abstract: To effectively control the seismic performance of precast concrete (PC) frames with semirigid connections under strong earthquakes, a damage-oriented energy capacity spectrum method is proposed under the performance-based ...

Abstract: A few innovative designs and construction measures are introduced to build a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam with a height of 160 m (524.96 ft), whereas the design peak ground acceleration of the dam site is

Abstract: This paper presents a control strategy that simultaneously reduces vertical and lateral buffeting responses during the construction of China's Pingtang Bridge, a multiple-span, composite, cable-stayed bridge with supertall ...
