Abstract: Power-law sections provide great flexibility in open channel design. However, in the literature the optimum hydraulic power-law section has been developed for only specific values of the exponent k of the power-law formula. ...

Abstract: To investigate the characteristics of wind fields at the bridge site in mountain-gorge terrains more accurately and rationally, an updated curved boundary transition section (BTS) was proposed in this study. The flow ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient approach for dynamic stress analysis of a long-span bridge under the combined action of stochastic traffic and wind loads based on the stress influence function, which converts the stress ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests were conducted to investigate the wind pressure characteristics of sawtooth roofs in a simulated open country wind field with relatively low turbulence intensity. Models of monosloped and sawtooth roof ...

Abstract: The microstructures of seawater cement-based materials normally are influenced by the salinity in seawater, which could result in different properties. The thermal conductivity (λ-value) of seawater cement-based materials ...
