Abstract: By using ANSYS/LS-DYNA explicit dynamical analysis software, finite element models for an ice sheet and a

Abstract: Deformations due to environmental and mechanical loads in curved bridges can lead to fairly complex long-term effects. Instead of the one-dimensional longitudinal movement that occur in straight bridges, in curved bridges ...

Abstract: Whether industrial agglomeration (IA) can effectively improve green development efficiency (GDE) is crucial for both the smooth realization of China’s dual carbon goals and the country’s future green development. This paper ...

Abstract: A detailed investigation on the fatigue performance of concrete beams strengthened with glass-fiber composite (GFC) is performed in this study. Cyclic load tests were conducted on reinforced concrete beam specimens ...

Abstract: This paper presents a failure analysis of pot-type bearings on the West 8th Avenue viaduct in Denver, Colorado, and aims at determining the causes of guide bar fracture, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) peeling, and steel–steel ...

Abstract: As the scale of natural gas pipelines expands and their operation becomes more complex, relying solely on the experience of field dispatchers to handle complex pipe network operation problems becomes increasingly challenging. ...
