Abstract: Design provisions for axially compressed rectangular hollow section (RHS) members with slender elements were evaluated using an approximate first-order reliability method analysis. A total of 342 nonlinear finite-element ...

Abstract: This paper discusses contemporary design procedures for fillet welds to hollow structural sections (HSS) in several prominent design codes. The structural reliability associated with the directional strength-enhancement ...

Abstract: We investigate the possibility of secondary resonance of a spinning disk under space-fixed excitations. Von Karman’s plate model is employed in formulating the equations of motion of the spinning ...

Abstract: The bonding performance between a thin overlay and the pavement is an important basis for good performance of asphalt pavement. To research the effect of interlayer bonding on the fatigue life of thin overlays, three-point ...

Abstract: Asphalt is a kind of temperature-sensitive material, and the temperature stability of asphalt mixtures is not very good. The production of hot-mix asphalt mixtures consumes a substantial amount of energy and produces carbon ...
