Abstract: Experimental evidence is produced using two soils that support the hypothesis that small-scale models frozen on a centrifuge for several hours can simulate correctly full-scale soil freezing response developing in the field ...

Abstract: The FROST numerical model was used to predict frost heave developing in centrifuge soil models. When uncalibrated predictions of heave using Gardner's coefficients were selected from accompanying FROST documentation based ...

Abstract: To monitor bolt connection status and detect bolt looseness in engineering structures, a bolt pretightening force sensor was designed and fabricated with a strain gauge bonded on the top surface of a bolt head. The ...

Abstract: The analytical behavior of concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) piers under cyclic lateral loading is reported in this paper. A finite-element analysis (FEA) model is developed to investigate the cyclic ...

Abstract: This article presents a practical multivariate linear-based model for modeling and separation of thermal effects from the cable-stayed bridge response. First, the discrete typical thermal loadings, which are the variables ...
