Abstract: In this study, a novel force-based frame element with delocalization is developed to address localization issues induced by material strain softening. A regularization procedure for section deformations is introduced on ...

Abstract: Industry waste materials are commonly used in road engineering. In this study, crushed ceramic waste aggregates (CWAs) were utilized and added into asphalt mixtures to investigate their potential usage. A finite-element ...

Abstract: There is a significant difference on the setting temperature gradient when concrete paving is conducted under different conditions. The strain distribution through the depth of portland cement concrete slab changes greatly ...

Abstract: Asphalt pavement structures are composed of layered materials and are assumed to be completely continuous elastic layered systems in structural design. However, a number of studies have indicated that the interface is not ...

Abstract: Serious environmental pollution will occur if corn stalk materials are discarded randomly or burned in open air. This study presents a possible method for using corn stalk materials to make fibers used in stone matrix ...

Abstract: Foamed asphalt cold-recycled mixtures have been increasingly used in China. However, the interlayer shear performance between the foamed asphalt cold-recycled layer and its top and bottom layers is still not clear. In this ...

Abstract: The thawing settlement of highway embankments remains an engineering challenges in permafrost regions. Lime-energy-columns (LECs) have the potential to constrain the total amount of such settlement by prethawing the warm ...

Abstract: This paper reports a systematic experimental investigation into the stochastic nonlinearities inherent in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. A series of specimen tests is conducted with a static monotonic lateral loading ...
