Abstract: This paper establishes a comprehensive modeling for permeability of porous solids incorporating cracks with clustering extent ranging from nonoverlapping to percolation. The geometry of cracks is characterized through the ...

Abstract: There is little knowledge on the effect of stress on corrosion of mild steel and how the combination of stress and corrosion affects the mechanical properties of mild steel. This paper presents a comprehensive experiment ...

Abstract: Though road authorities have well-defined inspection protocols for evaluating bridge serviceability, gaps remain in understanding optimal timing and the impact of maintenance strategies on an individual bridge and its ...
