Abstract: Vaulted expansion of semi-rigid base caused by thermal stress was analyzed with the theory of buckling of columns in mechanics of materials and the theory of buckling of elastic plates in mechanics of elasticity. Whether ...

Abstract: Gene expression programming (GEP) models, a robust variant of genetic programming, are developed in this study to correlate resilient modulus with routine properties of subgrade soils and state of stress for pavement design ...

Abstract: In this study, an analytic solution of wave interaction with a rigid porous medium above a poro-elastic sandy bottom is derived to investigate the attenuation of the surface wave and the wave-induced soil response. In the ...

Abstract: This paper reports experimental results of the toe scour of seawall on a steep seabed with slope of 1:5 under the action of breaking waves. The equilibrium toe scour profiles were investigated and the depths of toe scours ...

Abstract: Pile-soil interaction in an expansive soil foundation has been primarily analyzed by an analytical solution in our previous study. As a complementary work, this paper briefly reviews the derivation process in more detail ...

Abstract: The influence of manufacturing technology and imperfections on casing collapse strength is not considered in API bulletin 5C3. In the meantime, the current casing true collapse strength cannot ...
