Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clearly understand the self-organized critical phenomenon of concrete in the process of uniaxial compression. During the compression tests, acoustic emission (AE) waveform and its characteristic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a streamlined methodology to assess the horizontal response of an embedded pile subjected to combined horizontal dynamic and axial static loads in a nonhomogeneous Pasternak medium. The stiffness matrix ...

Abstract: The large deformation issue in soft rock mass is a worldwide difficulty that has puzzled tunnel engineering for a century and a half. Previous studies have mainly focused on a large deformation mechanism, prediction, and ...
