Abstract: A model based on an expected total‐cost minimization approach is developed for determining the optimal‐degree curvature of simple horizontal curves on undivided two‐lane highways. Expected total cost is defined as the sum ...

Abstract: In this study, the response of a multihinged articulated offshore tower subjected to different seismic excitations in the presence of random waves was investigated. The study includes near-fault as well as far-fault ...

Abstract: The objective of this research was to determine the mechanical properties, including among others compressive strength (fc′), tensile strength (fsp), flexural strength (fr), modulus of elasticity (Ec), and Poisson’s ratio ...

Abstract: The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region (Reclamation) have developed a rapid, interactive screening model, named CalLite, for evaluating various Central Valley ...
