Abstract: An orthotropic steel deck (OSD) has a complicated structure, and its fatigue life is mainly determined by various welding details. Fatigue assessment of deck-to-rib welded joints under long-term train loads is an important ...

Abstract: To investigate the effects of fuel discharge rate and initial fuel temperature on flame pulsation characteristics of vertical spill fire, a series of experiments under continuous leakage conditions are conducted on a ...

Abstract: Stress fields around structural discontinuities such as cracks usually cause complex but distinct strain contours/maps when structures are subjected to load. Hence, mechanical strain on structural surfaces can provide ...

Abstract: With the emergence of the smart city, there is a growing need for scalable methods that sense how humans interact and use infrastructure in order to model social behaviors relevant to designing sustainable and resilient ...

Abstract: The ferric-nitrilotriacetate (Fe3+-NTA)-catalyzed homogenous Fenton-like reaction (i.e., Fe3+-NTA/H2O2) has received increasing interest for environmental applications, but its potential in degrading trichloroethylene ...
