Abstract: China has been vigorously developing natural gas-based urban district heating (UDH) for years to reduce severe air pollution. In this paper, energy and exergy analysis methods are applied to distributed combined heating ...

Abstract: The summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO), an important climate signal in regulating the interannual variability of Tibetan Plateau (TP) summer rainfall, is closely related to a meridional precipitation dipole pattern ...

Abstract: Collapse is one of the most dangerous aspects of drilling–blasting construction in highway tunnels. To accurately control tunnel-collapse risk, a multistate dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) evaluation method for highway ...

Abstract: Concrete structures are at risk of fire and explosion effects during service. This paper mainly conducted static and dynamic mechanical test research of concrete after high temperature. Five different target temperatures ...

Abstract: Eight building seismic rubber bearings (four uninsulated lead rubber bearings, one insulated lead rubber bearing, two uninsulated natural rubber bearings, and one insulated natural rubber bearing) were experimentally ...

Abstract: This paper presents comparative thermal and mechanical performance of geopolymers derived from metakaolin (MK), fly ash (FA), and their combinations. Bending and compression tests, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning ...

Abstract: This study addresses the effects of vertical motion on the nonlinear flutter response of a double-deck truss girder based on section model wind tunnel tests. Six dynamic systems with the same bridge deck section were tested ...
