Abstract: Due to the restriction of lead-rich solder and the miniaturization of electronic packaging devices, lead-free solders have replaced lead-rich solders in the past decades; however, it also brings new technical problems. ...

Abstract: The stabilization/solidification method can improve the engineering properties and reduce the environmental risks of heavy metal-contaminated expansive soil. However, the solidification effects deteriorate for soils ...

Abstract: At present, the reliability analysis and design method of vertically loaded piles embedded in spatially variable soils is difficult to be applied in practical engineering due to the huge computation effort required. To ...
