Abstract: Effective fluid bulk modulus has significant influence on the stiffness and dynamic performance of hydraulic systems. It is always varied with different working parameters as air content, fluid ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the feasibility of converting municipal sewage sludge and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash to a construction material for the dikes of a sludge-only containment. The sewage sludge ...

Abstract: Hollow structural steel (HSS) columns filled with concrete offer a number of benefits and are often used in tall buildings and other industrial structures. A mathematical model was developed and used to investigate the ...

Abstract: Resistance to permanent deformation is the primary performance indicator of unbound aggregate pavement layers. In relation to the applied wheel-load deviator stress, the shear strength property of a confined base/subbase ...
