Abstract: Pressure fluctuations propagation within lining slab joints is one of the main causes of linings damage in stilling basins downstream of large dams. Based on three hydraulic models for pressure fluctuations propagation ...

Abstract: Carbon-based nanomaterials are currently used to reinforce cement-based composite materials based on their superior properties. However, the mechanical performance of the cement-based composite materials can be improved ...

Abstract: With the continuous construction of high-speed railway networks in China, long-span railway bridges which carry multiple tracks are being put into service on the high-speed railway line. However, few studies focus on bridge ...

Abstract: The multi-level model updating method is put forward for finite element modeling of the bridge tower for long-span cable-stayed bridge, which includes model order updating, model structure updating and model parameter ...

Abstract: The effect of steel reinforcement on the distribution of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) damage in concrete blocks is studied by leveraging acoustic emission sensing with a data-driven approach. The innovation lies in deriving ...
