Abstract: This study has attempted to address a challenging problem in winter road maintenance, namely road surface condition (RSC) forecasting. A novel conceptual framework for short-term road surface condition forecasting is ...

Abstract: This paper gives a set of time-dependent displacement solutions for the case of a vertical concentrated force acting in the interior of fractional derivative viscoelastic soils. First, a three-dimensional fractional ...

Abstract: Excavation beneath an existing building to add a new basement is an effective mean to expand underground space that caters to the increased need of space in urban areas. Because piles serve as load-bearing structures in ...

Abstract: The uniform arrangement of pile groups widely used in practice often causes obvious differential settlement of pile foundations. To decrease differential settlement of pile groups, individual piles nonuniformly arranged ...
