Abstract: The twenty-first century is known as the “century of the ocean.” Artificial reefs have been extensively studied and used worldwide as the main infrastructure of marine pastures. At present, research has been primarily ...

Abstract: The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of portland cement concrete (PCC) is a significant factor affecting the performance of concrete pavements. It is also required as a direct input in the mechanistic-empirical ...

Abstract: Compared with ordinary concrete, the segregation resistance of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) are more sensitive to small variations of mix proportions such as dosage of superplasticizer, and the size, volume, and ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional transient thermal problem of work rolls in the entire rolling process has been formulated. It includes the time-varying boundary conditions specified at the roll surface ...

Abstract: In cities, reinforced concrete pipes are often employed to construct storm sewer systems. Due to impervious base layers, stormwater runoff dominates rather than rainwater infiltration, leading to problems in aquatic ...
