Abstract: Piles are often embedded in a layered soil profile, such as sand or clay layer underlain by rock. Several existing solutions are available for laterally loaded piles in a layered soil system. However, these solutions are ...

Abstract: Drilled shafts socketed in rock mass have been used frequently as a foundation system to support both vertical and lateral loads. Traditionally, the lateral interaction between the drilled shaft and the surrounding rock ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical solution for the four-equation model describing fluid-structure interaction in liquid-filled pipes subjected to impact-induced water hammer is presented. The analytical solution is derived for ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted utilizing a gear-cam adapter to simulate line-contact lubrication and wear. Roller specimens with various asperity heights and roughness patterns were riding on the ...

Abstract: The surface scuffing occurring in line-contact lubrication is related to the roller’s roughness pattern and asperity height. For surfaces with same contact asperity height, the magnitudes of ...

Abstract: The widespread use of antibiotics in pharmaceuticals and aquaculture has led to their high concentration in wastewater, posing threats to ecological stability and human health. In addressing these challenges, in our ...

Abstract: This study aims to enhance the high-temperature resistance of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) by optimizing the cement-fly ash-silica fume ternary cement matrix composition and the geometric characteristics of the ...
