Abstract: A novel formulation for elastoplasticity has been recently proposed by Liu and Hong. These authors have explored the internal symmetry of the constitutive model for perfect plasticity to ensure that the consistency condition ...

Abstract: Synthesis of geopolymer using metakaolin (MK) usually requires a relatively high curing temperature, which limits the application of MK-based geopolymers in the practice of civil engineering. With the goal of developing a ...

Abstract: The technique of prestressing near-surface-mounted (NSM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) has good potential and future prospects for structural strengthening due to its improvement of the bond between the CFRP and ...

Abstract: lobal warming will have direct impacts on regional water resources by accelerating the hydrological cycle. Hydrological simulation is an important approach to studying climate change impacts. In this paper, a snowmelt-based ...
