Abstract: Soil resistance to monotonic lateral displacement of buried pipelines has been well studied in the literature, but there is limited information on the interaction between soil and buried pipes subjected to cyclic displacement. ...

Abstract: The maximum pore fluid pressures due to uniaxial compression are determined for both the vascular porosity (Haversian and Volkmann’s canals) and the lacunar–canalicular porosity of live cortical ...

Abstract: Bone is a very dynamic tissue capable of modifying its composition, microstructure, and overall geometry in response to the changing biomechanical needs. Streaming potential has been hypothesized ...

Abstract: This work focuses on solving two challenging problems in pavement crack detection: (1) noises caused by complicated pavement textures and intensity inhomogeneity cannot be removed effectively, which makes crack ...

Abstract: Precast spandrel beams are often used on the perimeter of precast buildings to support the precast floor units. These elements are typically not considered part of the lateral force resisting system. However, the presence ...

Abstract: Nonlinear amplitude-frequency response of an acoustic Helmholtz resonator is investigated by incorporating linear damping, nonlinear damping, and nonlinear restoration. Method of multiple time scale ...

Abstract: Precast concrete diaphragm seismic response is examined in experimental research integrating model-based simulation with physical testing. The experimental substructure is the diaphragm critical flexural region of a prototype ...
