Abstract: This paper presents a new Chinese Train Control System (CTCS), the CTCS-2I, for trains traveling up to

Abstract: Suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) in surface-water bodies such as rivers and reservoirs is one of the most important hydrologic data in solving engineering problems ranging from hydraulic design, river restoration, ...

Abstract: Pervious concrete, extensively applied in sustainable urban drainage systems, is prone to clogging. From the perspective of the clogging particle size relative to the pore size, clay particles easily pass through pervious ...

Abstract: In this paper, two novel hole-pattern seals were assessed for applications at the balance piston in a 14 MW supercritical CO2 turbine, focusing on the improvement of the seal leakage and rotordynamic performances. These ...

Abstract: The installation of soil-cement columns causes excess pore-water pressures and movements of surrounding ground, which affect adjacent underground structures. In Shanghai, a triple-shaft deep soil mixing (DSM) method has ...

Abstract: The low-moon gravity has a significant influence on the mechanical properties of lunar soils at low-stress levels. To better understand the shear strength and deformation behavior of lunar soils at low confining stress and ...

Abstract: The use of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bolts has been investigated for their potential in improving the properties of anchorage systems in mixed soil environments, particularly for their lightweight, high strength, ...

Abstract: The fire performances of steel-reinforced ultrahigh-toughness cementitious composite (SRU) columns are investigated and compared with that of steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns by experimental and numerical methods ...

Abstract: To improve the performance and reduce the vibration of the mistuned blisk, a novel approach combining hard-coating and multipackets is presented. First, the dynamical models of the blisk without hard-coating and multipackets, ...
