Abstract: Use of a ballast is still popular in railway engineering due to its resilience, relatively low noise, and convenience in construction and maintenance. The ballast layer was modeled with two modeling approaches in this ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the critical buckling load and lateral bracing force of metal plate connected wood truss assemblies. Material property tests—including the modulus of elasticity ...

Abstract: To investigate the efficiency of chemical stabilization on soil residuals after soil washing, laboratory batch experiments were performed on a clayish soil contaminated with Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn with lime,

Abstract: Microphysical structures and processes in a case of precipitating stratiform clouds in North China on 21 May 2018 are investigated using joint observations from an aircraft and an X-band polarimetric radar. The results ...

Abstract: species (spp.) is a free-living amoeboflagellate that is widespread in natural environments. Some

Abstract: Support damage is a typical hazard scenario associated with tunnel boring machine (TBM) drives in the squeezing rock condition. The stress release of the rock mass and the improvement of the support capacity are two effective ...
