Abstract: This paper presents a passive control device—multidirectional cable restrainer (MDCR)—and develops the fragility curves of a curved bridge with and without MDCR, respectively. Three-dimensional finite-element models with ...

Abstract: The damage mechanism of reflective cracking, particularly on semi-rigid asphalt pavement with large stone porous asphalt mixture (LSPM) is investigated in this study. An asphalt pavement model with multilayered base ...

Abstract: Many high-piled wharves were built in the last century, and some wharf members have been damaged over decades of operation. It is important to use effective means to evaluate the safety status and durability of these ...

Abstract: To improve the forecasting accuracy of short-term traffic flow and provide precise and reliable traffic information for traffic management units and travelers, this study proposes a hybrid prediction model that is based ...

Abstract: Due to the complexity of the integrated Floating Wind Turbine (FWT) system, obtaining reliable results necessitates extensive experiments. This paper conducts a comprehensive study on the motion performance and mooring ...

Abstract: The co-gasification characteristics of petroleum coke (PC), hydrochar (PS), and their blends with different ratios were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis. The Coats–Redfern model was employed to calculate the ...
