Abstract: An extensive and systematic water-tank study was performed to simulate the urban heat island under a calm and stably stratified environment. The objective was to examine the mean-temperature field, mixing height, and ...

Abstract: A fully turbulent, low-aspect-ratio buoyant plume with no initial momentum under calm and stably stratified conditions is produced in a convection tank. The plume is generated by a circular heat island at the bottom of the ...

Abstract: This study aims to establish an appropriate method to calculate the bearing deformation of large-diameter bored piles in alluvial deposits with soils characterized mainly by medium-dense to dense silt, fine sand, and plastic ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced composites have received growing attention because of their superior performance and high potential for lightweight systems. An economic method to manufacture the parts made of these composites is ...
