Abstract: The objective of this experimental investigation is to use the ASTM C1138 (underwater) test method to investigate the influence of the quantity and type of coarse aggregates on the hydrodynamic abrasion resistance of ...

Abstract: This paper explores the influence of onshore structures' orientations and arrangements during a tsunami impact using the numerical method of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Observations from previous tsunami events ...

Abstract: This paper explores flood-induced hydrodynamic and debris impact forces on masonry arch bridges using the numerical method smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Masonry arch bridges make up a significant proportion of the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of a tsunami-like bore carrying debris impacting a structure, examining the variability of the debris impact forces simulated using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and assessing ...

Abstract: Structural glass is being used in increasingly challenging applications by engineers and architects; however, there is currently no universally adopted analytical method for the design of monolithic slender glass elements ...

Abstract: Use of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening of structural elements has been gaining increased traction over the past few years. Although some research has been carried out on the behavior of CFRP-strengthened ...

Abstract: Adobe has been used as an economic building material since ancient times and continues to be used today, particularly in developing countries. Due to its sustainability credentials, interest in adobe as an alternative to ...

Abstract: Substations are vital components of electricity supply, representing a weak point in a power network due to their vulnerability to flood events. Pole-mounted substations can effectively mitigate inundation failures by ...
