Abstract: With the development of urbanization, numerous underground structures were constructed in composite soil. It is common that the aseismic capacity of the underground structure is influenced by the soil. Hence, during the ...

Abstract: An analytical model was developed to predict the variety of truck type choice under strict overloading enforcement. It is assumed that the truck loadage distribution of the whole truck fleet is consistent with the shipment ...

Abstract: Methane hydrates are an attractive source of future clean energy and are abundant in voids of sediments, in permafrost regions, and along continental slopes. Understanding the mechanical behavior of methane hydrate-bearing ...

Abstract: Freeze–thaw cycles induced deterioration on rocks begins with the damage in microstructures such as pores and pore throats. This paper was devoted to providing a fundamental understanding of the microscopic deterioration ...

Abstract: Methane hydrate-bearing soils (MHBS) are natural soil deposits that contain methane hydrate (MH) in the pores and have attracted a huge amount of attention as alternative energy to study mechanical properties for realizing ...

Abstract: Real-time conflict prediction is an emerging research perspective of proactive road safety measures that can prevent potential risk situations. Previous research used macroscopic traffic flow data while underestimating the ...

Abstract: The stability of rock engineering in cold regions is deteriorated by the day–night and seasonal freeze–thaw environments. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a damage constitutive model that can effectively describe the ...
