Abstract: This paper investigates the flexural behavior of steel–UHPC composite beams with waffle slabs (SUCBWS) under hogging moment. A three-point, reduced-scale flexural test was performed to investigate the effect of reinforcement ...

Abstract: Inlet separation is one of the primary sources of distortion at fan entrances. High angles of attack (AOAs) are the critical cause of inlet separation. Optimizing the inlet shape to increase the separation angle is of great ...

Abstract: The cellular automaton model is an effective tool for studying the dynamic characteristics of urban road traffic flow. To improve the lane-changing behavior of vehicles in a microscopic traffic simulation by using the ...

Abstract: Multiple tower crane layout planning (MTCLP) refers to the selection of the types, quantities, and positions of tower cranes and material storage positions. In a construction project, choosing tower cranes with a larger ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical approach to simulate sliding friction between engineering surfaces with 3D roughness in point contacts. The numerical approach is developed on the basis of the ...

Abstract: Real-time and accurate short-term traffic flow prediction is important for the operation and management of expressways. This paper presents a hybrid model that can be used to discover the spatiotemporal dependencies of ...
