Abstract: A numerical time-delayed transfer entropy method combined with a surrogate data algorithm is proposed to identify the nonlinearities in the vibration data of structures with damages without the use of baseline data. ...

Abstract: This paper presents micro–macro behaviors of unsaturated residual soils within high suctions. A series of unsaturated soil specimens was prepared using the saturated-saline-solution-based vapor equilibrium technique, ...

Abstract: This work involved an uncertainty analysis of a case study of a bridge in the Wenzhou area of China. A pile–slab composite foundation was used to mitigate the bump at the end of the bridge. The uncertainty analysis was ...
