Abstract: Application of nonlinear behavior laws is relatively complicated and difficult to master because of the unique configurations of special-shaped arch bridges. In this study, a self-compiled program is used to analyze the ...

Abstract: The stress–dilatancy relationship is a key point to capture the evolution of both strains and excess pore pressure during an undrained creep of natural soft clay. This paper focuses on investigating the stress dilatancy ...

Abstract: Severe vibrations induced by flow instabilities in the nuclear reactor coolant pump (RCP) are detrimental to the safe operation of the pump. Due to the particular spherical casing in the RCP, the internal flow structures ...

Abstract: To establish the unified description of strands in prestressed concrete girder bridge, NURBS strands model is presented with introducing Non-Uniform Rational Basic Spline (NURBS). Prestressed strands in design and construction ...

Abstract: Given the unique pattern of butterfly-shaped arch bridges, the nonlinear behavior rules of the main girders are difficult to determined compared with those of ordinary arch bridges. The traditional design method that does ...

Abstract: On the basis of critical state soil mechanics, this study derives theoretical formulas for predicting the undrained shear strength of

Abstract: Soil loss during tunneling may induce the ground deformation. The loss volume depends on tunneling methods, soil types, workmanship, etc. The movement pattern along the tunnel section can be separated into two parts: one ...

Abstract: -lay is widely accepted as a favorable method for deepwater pipeline installation. The configuration and internal force of the pipeline during the laying process are key factors for its safety, and the embedment induced ...

Abstract: An anisotropic elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model is developed for
