Abstract: For a long time, the production management of the construction industry has been mostly based on experience, and there are often problems such as construction delays, high costs, quality defects, and serious pollution. In ...

Abstract: This paper develops an algorithm for generating the three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous microstructure of asphalt concrete based on random modeling. The asphalt concrete was modeled as heterogeneous material with fine ...

Abstract: In cold regions, the freeze–thaw (FT) cycle is a common natural physical process. It directly affects the stability of the project by changing the mechanical properties of the saline soil. Due to the presence of salt, the ...

Abstract: Precast concrete columns have been widely used in bridge constructions. Most studies regarding precast columns focused on seismic instead of static behaviors. To investigate the cracking mechanism and failure modes of the ...

Abstract: In deep underground mine, besides the high static in situ stress, openings such as stopes, drifts, and shafts in underground mine are also frequently subjected to dynamic waves coming from blasting and earthquake. The ...

Abstract: Saline soil is composed of abundant soluble salts, exhibiting undesirable properties when used in backfill projects. To address the mentioned problem, a hydrophobic polymer with an active ingredient of hydrosiloxane-containing ...

Abstract: A butterfly web girder is a box girder that has discretely distributed side-surface openings. Due to these openings, butterfly web girders show better aerodynamic performance than conventional box girders. This study aims ...
