Abstract: Reinforcement corrosion is a general problem about the reliability and durability of concrete structures. A lot of research about the issue of reinforcement corrosion has been done; however, it has focused primarily on ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an improved steel jacketing method to retrofit reinforced concrete columns with a square or rectangular section for enhanced strength and improved ductility. To retrofit an existing column, relatively ...

Abstract: Immiscible liquids when spilled into the ground or leaked from underground storage tanks tend to remain trapped in the form of discrete ganglia due to strong capillary forces. These ganglia often have low solubility in ...

Abstract: The engineering properties of tailings are important for the safety evaluation and engineering design of tailing dams. In the present study, laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the geotechnical properties ...

Abstract: Electroosmotic consolidation can be used as an efficient technique for soft soil improvement. Considering the limitation in previous theories that soil parameters keep constant during electroosmotic consolidation, the ...

Abstract: A novel Bessel function method is proposed to obtain the exact solutions for the free-vibration analysis of rectangular thin plates with three edge conditions: (i) fully simply supported; (ii) ...

Abstract: Adsorbent dosage and initial adsorbate concentration are usually used as two factors for a batch sorption experiment to investigate the sorption characteristics of heavy metals on soils. In the present study, another factor ...
