Abstract: Understanding the stress distribution within concrete structures under complex loading conditions is crucial for investigating their failure mechanisms and ultimate strength design. Nevertheless, internal-stress distribution ...

Abstract: The main objective of this work is to characterize the long-term performance of corn oil and refined engine oil bottom (REOB) recycled asphalt containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) binders, from the perspectives of ...

Abstract: Trailing-edge mixing flows associated with coolant injection are complex and result in significant aerodynamics losses. A series of tests on a high-pressure turbine vane cascade with trailing-edge injection were conducted ...

Abstract: The migration of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mastic into the recycled hot-mix asphalt (RHMA) mixture system during the hot-mix process results in varying dispersion degrees of RAP aggregates within RHMA, impacting its ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model to determine both a worker’s decision to participate in a nonwork activity and the decision about whether to include it in the basic home–work–home commute. By using household travel ...

Abstract: The ratio of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement stiffness to concrete strength (confinement stiffness ratio) has been widely accepted to determine the postpeak stress‒strain behavior of FRP-confined concrete. It ...
