Abstract: The application of bending theory based methods and strut-and-tie models for the design of pile caps to resist shear is still a subject of debate, with the latest Eurocodes permitting both methods but not giving much ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete four-pile caps under wall loading occur in heavily loaded foundations in bridge construction. The failure mode of shear across the full width of the cap may occur in these deep structural elements. A ...

Abstract: The advantage of self-relocation of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) can eliminate heavy searching-for-parking traffic in areas with limited parking availability. However, the floating trips will exacerbate local ...

Abstract: In order to understand the influence of sand content on the secondary consolidation behavior of sand–fine mixtures, a series of one-dimensional creep tests were conducted. These tests used mixtures with sand contents of ...

Abstract: Travel time estimation plays an important role in advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) for dynamic traffic management. Static travel time estimation (STTE) and dynamic travel time estimation (DTTE) are two of the ...

Abstract: Pavement distress detection is of great significance to pavement maintenance and management. Currently, image-processing methods have been developed, especially with the widespread use of the convolutional neural networks ...
