Abstract: The paper presents a simple procedure for the optimum design of a pipeline block anchor. The forces exerted by the soil on the block are computed using

Abstract: A simple method for deriving closed-form expressions for the components of the stiffness matrix and fixed-end forces and moments for tapered members is presented. The governing differential equations and the boundary ...

Abstract: Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) is a smart material used in engineering structures that are subjected to high flexural, shear, impact, and dynamic loadings to ensure safety against explosions and other accidental ...
