Abstract: Foamed concrete has been widely used in building energy conservation and insulation engineering, and its fire resistance is very important for buildings under fire. However, due to high porosity and permeability, the ...

Abstract: The continuum over tube applied to natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) should be flexible during insertion and provide sufficient stiffness upon arrival at the lesion. In order to satisfy these two ...

Abstract: Accurate forecasting is the key factor in promoting wind power consumption and improving the stable operation of power systems. A short-term wind power forecasting (WPF) and uncertainty analysis method based on whale ...

Abstract: This paper develops a three-dimensional (3D) microscopic model to investigate the mechanical response of cement mortar with random defects at high strain rates. Ellipsoids with randomness in size, shape, and spatial ...

Abstract: Self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC), as the primary material of road construction, is produced by adding rubber particles instead of sand to self-compacting concrete (SCC). Four kinds of concrete with different ...

Abstract: Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) with 75-mm diameter is used to conduct dynamic impact compression tests on different strength grades of basic magnesium sulfate cement-coral aggregate concrete (BMSC-CAC). The failure ...
