Abstract: This paper presents the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of high-strength alloy structural Q460 steel. The strength and stiffness properties of steel degrade with temperature and this deterioration has ...

Abstract: The hypothesis that drivers are balancing perceptual speed on both sides of the visual field is proposed through the analysis of the driver’s decision on lateral positioning. Moreover, the temporal frequency of the occurrence ...

Abstract: This research focuses on a new type of buckling-restrained brace (BRB) with replaceable steel angle fuses. The proposed BRB offers ease of postearthquake examination of fuse damage, convenient and prompt replacement of ...

Abstract: Prefabricated construction has gained traction in sustainable construction practices. As a modular construction method, the prefabricated component (PC) supply chain involves key participants—producer, transporter, and ...

Abstract: A novel approach is proposed to arrange the actuations of rigid foldable waterbomb origami with multiple facet loops such that the number of actuations equaled the degrees-of-freedom (DOF) of the origami. In this approach, ...

Abstract: Co-occurrence patterns among different deep road distresses (distresses below the road surface) play a pivotal role in road maintenance. It is essential for the sustainable development of road performance and draws much ...
