Abstract: The three-dimensional (3D) stability calculations of soil slopes are often focused on homogeneous soils in the published literature. However, strength inhomogeneity is a common phenomenon in slope engineering. The purpose ...

Abstract: Reinforcements are essential for improvement of slope stability. In most slope stability analyses, the soil is regarded as homogeneous, whereas it is in fact nonhomogeneous in many cases. Based on the limit-analysis method, ...

Abstract: Steel fibers and nanopalygorskite (NP) were introduced into ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) to improve its long-term performance. Long-term mechanical properties and long-term shrinkage performance were measured to ...

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes have a significant impact on hydrate formation. However, the effect and mechanism of carbon micrometer tubes, which have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes, on the promotion of hydrate growth is not ...
