Abstract: Highpressure pneumatic control valves have been widely investigated during last decades. The published literature includes experimental and analytical studies on both constant value on–off valve and pressure reducing ...

Abstract: The present paper outlines the numerical calculation of wave interactions with a thin vertical slotted barrier extending from the water surface to some distance above the seabed, and describes laboratory tests undertaken ...

Abstract: Bridge maintenance is a highly intricate task that involves considering a wide range of factors in order to achieve optimal decisions that align with multiple objectives, criteria, and the entire lifecycle of the bridge. ...

Abstract: This study presents results on the influence of silica fume (SF) and additives on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of ordinary portland cement (OPC)-stabilized salt-rich marine soft clay. The effects of additives ...

Abstract: In order to explore the flexural performance of high-strength steel (HSS)/ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) composite beams, a total of six HSS-UHPC composite beams with varying levels of interfacial shear connectivity, ...

Abstract: Coalbed methane (CBM) productive efficiency and coal mine disasters such as gas outbursts and water inrush are closely correlated with coal seam permeability. Effective prediction of coal seam permeability can provide ...
