Abstract: A series of tests on the concrete-filled tubular circular hollow section (CHS) connections is presented in this paper. Four types (T, Y, K, and KT) of 12 connections were tested. The tests covered two different chord wall ...

Abstract: In northern China, wind curtailment and environmental pollution from the widespread use of traditional heating methods cause huge economic losses. This paper proposes an emerging heating technology using wind power to ...

Abstract: Artificial neural networks are applied as a means of estimating the average annual daily traffic (AADT) volume from short-period traffic counts. Fifty-five automatic traffic recorder sites located on low-volume rural roads ...

Abstract: Ultrahigh-toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC) is a new type of cementitious material that is suitable for durability repair of deteriorated concrete structures. One of the key issues in this repair technology is the ...

Abstract: Employing thermal energy storage (TES) for combined heat and power (CHP) can improve flexibility in an integrated electric-thermal system (IETS) and therefore is beneficial to the accommodation of variable renewable energy ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of the asphalt layer in asphalt pavement is an essential parameter for pavement design. An accurate characterization of the mechanical response of the in situ asphalt layer is of great significance ...

Abstract: To get an accurate bearing capacity of a postgrouting pile, the range of grout diffusion should be considered in practice. Considering the time-dependent behavior of power-law cement grout viscosity, calculation methods ...
