Abstract: To establish the unified description of strands in prestressed concrete girder bridge, NURBS strands model is presented with introducing Non-Uniform Rational Basic Spline (NURBS). Prestressed strands in design and construction ...

Abstract: Based on theoretic analysis and calculation by establishing solid finite element model, the variance between mechanical hypothesis/simplification and the real structure and the changes of transverse distribution of bridge ...

Abstract: In this paper, experiments carried out on ordinary concrete under multiaxial compression of both full section and local section are presented and the failure modes compared under different loading conditions. According to ...

Abstract: Machine learning (ML) models can accelerate the development of efficient internal combustion engines. This study assessed the feasibility of data-driven methods toward predicting the performance of a diesel engine modified ...
