Abstract: In this study, the effect of curing humidity on mechanical performance, hydration as well as microstructure for cement paste containing metakaolin (MK) and limestone powder (LP) with various water to binder (w/b) ratios, ...

Abstract: Shallow and asymmetrically loaded tunnels are very common in mountain tunnel portals, and localized excessive deformation, cracking, or even collapse often occur during the construction process. In this study, a shallow ...

Abstract: Since the ground reaction curve (GRC) is a useful tool for evaluating the formation deformation and the load acting on an underground structure, it is critical to determine the GRC, especially under small strain conditions. ...

Abstract: Pool boiling heat transfer coefficients of R134a with different lubricant mass fractions for one smooth tube and five enhanced tubes were tested at a saturation temperature of 6°C. The ...
