Abstract: This paper examines the influences of the size ratio and fines content on Young's modulus and the shear modulus of binary mixtures using the discrete element method. The moduli were gained by numerical simulations of drained ...

Abstract: Building construction sites are highly complex and uncertain, and frequent incidents of dangerous events can easily lead to casualties. Thus, both risk assessment and evacuation analysis are fundamental to safety management. ...

Abstract: An asphalt pavement performance evaluation model based on deflection is established by combining the subjective deflection weight obtained from the improved analytic hierarchy process and the objective deflection weight ...

Abstract: In this paper, a state-space method for double-beam systems with variable cross sections is developed, making it possible to calculate the transverse vibration of the double-beams accurately and effectively. Due to the ...

Abstract: This paper studies a new vehicle cooperation scheme for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) at a multilane signal-free intersection. Firstly, the collision set for each vehicle is constructed, which contains all conflict ...

Abstract: This paper presents a streamlined methodology to assess the horizontal response of an embedded pile subjected to combined horizontal dynamic and axial static loads in a nonhomogeneous Pasternak medium. The stiffness matrix ...
