Abstract: A weak form quadrature element formulation is established to obtain the coefficients of Mode III crack-tip asymptotic fields. The problem domain is divided into circular subdomains near the crack tips and several integrable ...

Abstract: A database was compiled to establish the site-specific measured load–displacement responses of piles from different sites across the globe, which contains 188 curves from 12 sites. A curve-fitting technique was applied to ...

Abstract: The filling layer of a China rail track system III (CRTS III) type ballastless track structure of a high-speed railway is a complicated structure typically constructed from self-compacting concrete (SCC). Excellent properties ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the behavior of helical pier foundations in frozen ground. The scope of the work presented includes developing finite-element analysis (FEA) models that simulate the stress-strain relationships ...

Abstract: With the expansion of regional urbanization, urban agglomeration has become the most striking area of China’s urbanization process. Simulation of the urban growth of metropolitan regions is a hot issue and a difficult field ...

Abstract: Optimizing reservoir refill operations is important for improved water use. This study developed a real-time refill operation model using scenario-based forecasts. To bridge the gap between forecast horizon and operation ...

Abstract: The flow process of grout in a rock mass fracture network is an important part to judge the effect of grouting in engineering. Till date, little research has been done on the diffusion and migration pattern of grout in a ...
