Abstract: In order to solve the problem of blasting vibrations generated by the drilling and blasting method of the land section of an urban submarine tunnel, which has a great impact on the safety of the surrounding building ...

Abstract: Cell damage due to the mechanical impact during laser-assisted cell direct writing has been observed and is a possible hurdle for broad applications of fragile cell direct writing. The objective ...

Abstract: In China, the oil and natural gas resources in Bohai Bay are mainly marginal oil fields, which freeze in the winter. It is necessary to build both ice-resistant and economical offshore ...

Abstract: Based on the structural force analysis of a lap-assembled parabolic concrete channel, it is thought that the longitudinal tensile stress is the main factor that influences channel damage. The locations where the channel ...

Abstract: Large deformation analyses of structures are of great importance to the evaluation of structural performance under extreme environmental loads, but currently available methods are time-consuming because of the requirement ...

Abstract: Conventional reinforced concrete shear walls are widely used as primary lateral-force-resisting members owing to their high in-plane stiffness. However, some of these walls have been severely damaged in past earthquakes ...

Abstract: When using the traditional multilayered shell element to perform material nonlinearity analysis of large structures, the computation time is often overwhelming because of the repeated updating and factorization of the ...

Abstract: Nonlinear analyses of structures under dynamic excitation are becoming increasingly important in structural design and performance evaluation, but large computational effort is the main factor that limits their application. ...

Abstract: The detection of bridge cracks is an important task in bridge maintenance. It can also reflect the health of the bridge. However, cracks are usually in the form of strips, which are different from the concrete surface. ...

Abstract: The stability of stiffened plates has always been an important research issue in bridge engineering. The application of stiffened curved plates (SCPs) in the field of bridge engineering is gradually increasing, but the ...
