Abstract: This paper documents a low‐cost, qualitative evaluation scheme using a fuzzy set analysis for mapping slope failure potential (SFP). Four categories of factors affecting stability of natural slopes, i.e., geology, topography, ...

Abstract: A consistent higher-order theory is developed for cross-ply laminated thick plates under transverse normal impact via an energy variational approach, in which the 3-D surface/edge boundary conditions ...

Abstract: The groundwater at an abandoned industrial site located in Southern Taiwan has been polluted by mercury (Hg), which endangers human health and ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to (1) isolate Hg- and ...
