Abstract: Many metamodeling techniques have been developed in the past two decades to reduce the computational cost of design evaluation. With the increasing scale and complexity of engineering problems, ...

Abstract: A box girder bridge was simulated by ANSYS software, where the interlaminar relation of the bridge deck pavement was assumed to be frictionally sliding rather than continuous. Stresses of the asphalt concrete pavement were ...

Abstract: Portland cement concrete overlay on bridge deck is subjected to distresses of cracking and interface debonding under the effects of repeated vehicle loading and temperature cycling. In order to improve the overlay performance, ...

Abstract: The head region of the Yellow River is the key area where climate change would affect the hydrological process, since it is in a high elevation and cold area. Temperature and precipitation are two important meteorologic ...
