Abstract: Automatic generation of construction schedules has emerged as a key solution to address the inefficiencies and instabilities arising from the over-reliance on empirical judgment. However, traditional construction scheduling ...

Abstract: This paper aims at proposing a calculation model to deal with the face stability of shield tunnels in unsaturated soil. Based on the existing results of centrifugal test and numerical simulation, a new failure mechanism ...

Abstract: Human population distribution represents critical information used for urban planning, sustainable development, and human–environment interaction studies. A number of models for the mapping of population distribution have ...

Abstract: In this research, considering the importance and complexity of the water-level forecast in tidal reach, a case study was done in the tidal reach of the Yangtze River. Through the analysis of the characteristics of water-level ...

Abstract: Heavy glulam timber framed structures are facing a growing inadequacy in resisting lateral actions from earthquakes and winds due to the increasing building heights. This paper presents the experimental and numerical ...

Abstract: To study the advance distance of guide signs of expressway exits, we divide driving behavior in expressway exits into five processes according to the characteristics of the driving psychology principle and drivers’ response ...

Abstract: Arteries can be considered as layered composite material. Experimental data on the stiffness of human atherosclerotic carotid arteries and their media and adventitia layers are very limited. This study used uniaxial tests ...

Abstract: To investigate the rheological properties of poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS)/tackifying resin composite high-viscosity modified asphalt, a single-factor control variable method was used to study the influence of ...
