Fast Door-Opening Method for Quick Release of Rock Boulder or Debris in Large-Scale Physical Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Study on the mitigation of debris flows and rockfalls is a very challenging topic due to complex moving and impacting mechanisms. A large-scale physical model is preferred by researchers in the study of debris flow and ...
Modeling a Flexible Ring Net with the Discrete Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flexible barriers have been proven to be effective measures for mitigating natural hazards, such as rockfalls, gravel flows, and debris flows. This paper presents a new numerical ring model based on the discrete element ...
Load Transfer Calculation and Analysis of Large-Diameter Bored Piles According to Rules Based on Test Pile Measurement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aims to establish an appropriate method to calculate the bearing deformation of large-diameter bored piles in alluvial deposits with soils characterized mainly by medium-dense to dense silt, fine sand, and plastic ...
Differences in Aortic Arch Geometry, Hemodynamics, and Plaque Patterns Between C57BL/6 and 129/SvEv Mice
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Atherosclerotic plaques are distributed differently in the aortic arches of C57BL/6 (B6) and 129/SvEv (129) apolipoprotein E (apoE)-deficient mice. It is now recognized that hemodynamic wall shear ...
New Simple Method for Calculating Impact Force on Flexible Barrier Considering Partial Muddy Debris Flow Passing Through
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flexible barriers trap large particles and boulders in debris flow but allow slurry and small particles to pass through. Field tests and real cases indicate that a certain amount of slurry and small particles in debris ...
