Abstract: Experimental results from a comprehensive series of suction-controlled, consolidated drained (CD) triaxial tests, conducted on statically compacted specimens of unsaturated silty sand, are presented. The experimental program ...

Abstract: We report a combined experimental and computational study of a low constraint aluminum single crystal fracture geometry and investigate the near-tip stress and strain fields. To this end, a ...

Abstract: The mechanical and durability properties of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) modified methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymer concrete (PC) composite based on industrial waste (palm oil fuel ash and red mud) were investigated ...

Abstract: In most geotechnical construction works, compacted soils of cohesive-frictional nature are expected to remain mostly under partially saturated conditions and hence experience continuous changes in the suction state (negative ...

Abstract: Pipeline structures are often very flexible and susceptible to vibrations induced by many sources, such as vortex, external flow, and internal fluid flow. The pounding tuned mass damper (PTMD) is one device that may be ...
