Abstract: Accurate prediction of bridge condition is essential for the planning of maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation. An examination of the assumptions (for example, maintenance independency) of the existing Markovian model ...

Abstract: Herein, a semianalytical model is presented for solitary wave diffraction by a surface-piercing concentric dual-arc thin wall. The two arc-shaped walls are porous and thin, and they are placed on a flat seafloor. As a key ...

Abstract: Twenty-five reinforced concrete (RC) columns of section size 250 × 250 mm were designed and tested to study the seismic response considering the effect of loading case, strengthening method, and the predamage level, ...

Abstract: An improved analytical derivation was present on the drift motion of small rigid floating objects of arbitrary shapes under regular surface waves. The approach follows the slope-sliding model but with two new developments: ...

Abstract: Trimethoprim (TMP) is a widely prescribed antibiotic frequently detected in the aquatic environment. This study investigates the reactions of TMP and two sub structure model compounds [2, 4-diamino-5-methylpyrimidine (DAMP) ...

Abstract: As a watershed is urbanized, characteristics of runoff from new upslope impervious surfaces may differ from runoff generated on the predevelopment soil surface in quantity, time of concentration, and sediment load. This ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a project-level decision support tool for ranking maintenance scenarios for concrete bridge decks deteriorated as a result of chloride-induced corrosion. The approach is based on a ...

Abstract: In this paper, three one-third scale reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column-slab structure specimen tests were conducted to investigate the collapse mechanisms under a loss of the corner column, including a frame with slab ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the turbulent flow and mass transfer in primary settling tanks, numerical simulations are conducted by using a modified
