Abstract: Soil-shrinkage curve (SSC) is an intrinsic constitutive relationship characterizing soil deformation due to variation of water content under drying. The determination of SSC has been challenging due to the difficulty of ...

Abstract: The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of using tailings sand (TS) as a partial replacement for sand in the production of cement-stabilized base course materials. In this paper, the performance, economic ...

Abstract: The paper presents a simple and effective kinematic model and methodology to assess and evaluate the extent of the position uncertainty caused by joint clearances for multiple-loop linkage and manipulators connected with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a predictive model for compressive creep behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) commonly used to manufacture polymeric piling and geosynthetics. Accelerated methods to predict the tensile creep ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an accurate system model independent resilient control approach with heuristic parameter optimization algorithm for air-breathing hypersonic vehicle tracking control. The control action is generated by ...

Abstract: Due to the fact that certain brittle extensions of cracks in anisotropic materials are caused by the surpassing of the limit strain by the actual strain produced by the load, a strain criterion (
