Abstract: A theoretical solution for the punching shear strength of a concrete slab is presented. The problem is treated as a three‐dimensional axisymmetrical one, the material being assumed to be rigid‐plastic. A failure criterion ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new inhomogeneous solid modeling paradigm for engineering design. The proposed paradigm can represent, model, and render multidimensional physical attributes across any ...

Abstract: This paper provides a simple relationship to theoretically estimate the wave friction factor in various flow regimes in porous media based on the slip factor formula. The theoretical formula shows that the wave friction ...

Abstract: The mechanisms controlling sediment transport at river mouths and estuaries nearby ports are complicated interactions among waves, tidal currents, and river flows over complex bathymetry. Episodic river discharge triggered ...
