Abstract: Design storms guarantee uniformity regarding quality and operation standards of engineering projects and have been employed widely in urban drainage system design. Commonly used urban design storms, such as the Chicago ...

Abstract: To explore the effect of the joint contact area and temperature on the dynamic property of rock joints and wave propagation in granite rockmass, an impact test of a jointed granite specimen was conducted with a split–Hopkinson ...

Abstract: The production of the architecture engineering and construction (AEC) industry is organized by projects. With the diffusion of information and communication technology in the industry, building information modeling (BIM) ...

Abstract: In this paper, a state-space method for double-beam systems with variable cross sections is developed, making it possible to calculate the transverse vibration of the double-beams accurately and effectively. Due to the ...

Abstract: Seasonal design floods reflecting seasonal variation information are very important for reservoir operation and management. The seasonal design flood estimation method currently used in China is based on univariate frequency ...

Abstract: The asperity morphology has profound influences on the failure characteristics and shear strength of rock joints. To investigate these influences, degradation characteristics and mechanical properties were studied based ...
