Abstract: Long-distance pipelines are prone to suspend due to geological disasters, and large deformation may occur under gravity or other loads. In this study, mechanical behavior of a suspended pipeline caused by ground subsidence ...

Abstract: This study proposes an analytical model to relate the evolving microstructure of neat cement paste during hydration to the electrical resistivity measurement. The model is based on the general effective media theory and ...

Abstract: During the 2003 Bachu earthquake in China, the liquefaction phenomenon was widely observed. However, the standard penetration test–based method suggested in the national seismic design code in China significantly underestimates ...

Abstract: Swash flows are commonly modeled using the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSWEs). In the derivation of the NSWEs, directly from depth-averaging the Navier–Stokes equations, a so-called momentum correction factor, β, ...

Abstract: Dynamic analysis and parameter identification of a single mass elastomeric isolation system represented by a Maxwell-Voigt model is examined. Influences that the stiffness and damping values of ...

Abstract: The international roughness index (IRI) has been one of most widely used indicators for characterizing road roughness. However, there are some issues such as the key description of IRI spread over two large reports, no ...

Abstract: Wind and solar power generation differ from conventional power generation because of the variable and uncertain nature of their power output. This can have significant impacts on grid operations. Short-term forecasting of ...

Abstract: In the field of modern urban logistics, the development of door-to-door freight transport through rail–road combined transportation is a necessary approach to achieve modernization and smartness of railroad freight ...

Abstract: Solar Doppler velocimetry navigation, which utilizes the Doppler frequency shift between the standard solar and measured solar spectra to invert the velocity of the spacecraft, is an emerging and promising celestial ...

Abstract: Summer monsoon precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has significant impacts on the ecology, economy, and Asian climate, but has exhibited anomalous spatial distribution since the early twenty-first century. To explore ...
