Abstract: An empirical model for the estimation of residual strength is proposed. The proposed model predicts residual strength as a nonlinear function of both penetration resistance and initial effective stress. The model is ...

Abstract: Based on their three-dimensional mode shapes, the vibrational modes of free finite length thick cylinders can be classified into 6 categories, consisting of pure radial, radial motion with radial ...

Abstract: The construction and long-term use of underwater tunnels suffer from hazards associated with the pore pressure and water inflow. Analytical approaches quickly can predict the seepage field, through which the water inflow ...

Abstract: The poor adhesion of asphalt–granite limits the application of granite. This research aims to enhance the adhesion of asphalt and granite by establishing chemical connections between the hydroxyl groups on granite surface ...

Abstract: Liquid column separation (LCS) in pressurized pipelines may occur if a water hammer event drops the local pressure to the liquid’s vapor point. Numerical simulations of LCS have traditionally been based on one-dimensional ...

Abstract: The water stability of asphalt pavements has been a focus of attention in coastal municipal areas. This work thoroughly examined the adhesion and stripping properties of the asphalt–aggregate system under salt solution ...

Abstract: The differences in corrosion between the erosion mechanisms of sprayed concrete (SpC) and ordinary concrete (OC) under sulfate attack at different corrosion ages were investigated in this paper. Here, 10% sodium sulfate ...
