Abstract: A three-dimensional discrete element model of an asphalt mixture is developed based on discrete element method (DEM) software to investigate the cracking mechanism of the asphalt mixture, which is validated by the results ...

Abstract: A diaphragm quay wall anchored using barrette piles was constructed to increase retained soil elevation and reduce quay wall deflection. This article presents the long-term field-test results of the first practical application ...

Abstract: The characteristic flow behavior, timeaveraged velocity distributions, phaseresolved ensembleaveraged velocity profiles, and turbulence properties of the flow in the interdisk midplane between shrouded two corotating disks ...

Abstract: Based on the assumption that the hydrostatic pressure is maximum at half the total groundwater level, which improved the groundwater pressure distribution in the slope body, the safety factor expression for anti-slide ...

Abstract: The feasibility of enhanced degradation of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) by activated sludge inoculated with DEHP-degrading strains at a low temperature (1°C) and microbial community dynamics was investigated in a ...

Abstract: This study comprehensively investigates the flow features and energy loss mechanisms under stall conditions based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and hydraulic loss visualization techniques. The three-dimensional ...
