Abstract: Groundwater–surface water (GW-SW) exchange processes are important due to their critical role in controlling the transport of pollutants and ecologically related materials in rivers. In this paper, the surface water–groundwater ...

Abstract: In this paper, in order to develop a novel probabilistic model for the time-dependent compressive strength of concrete for existing reinforced concrete buildings, 1923 data sets were obtained by applying a rebound hammer ...

Abstract: Acidic environments constitute serious chemical threats to concrete-like cementitious materials. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate the degradation of alkali-activated slag/fly ash mortars with ...

Abstract: In order to obtain the lunar lander soft landing performance impact caused by the body gravity centerline shift, a seven-degree-of-freedom dynamic model is established based on the inertia force, and a dynamics and kinematics ...

Abstract: The numerical simulation was carried out to investigate mechanism of the heat transfer enhancement in the fin-and-tube heat exchangers. As known, the vortex generators (VGs) were widely used to improve the thermal performance ...

Abstract: The permeability evolution of lining fracture is of great significance for the safety evaluation of tunnel engineering in service. To date, there are few reports on the evolution in concrete fracture permeability when ...

Abstract: This paper presents a program of centrifuge model tests (100g) on the monotonic and cyclic lateral loading behavior of monopiles. The diameter and burial depth of the model pile were 59 and 550 mm, respectively, and ...
