Abstract: Local scour on noncohesive beds caused by horizontal circular wall jets in submerged environments is investigated in this study. The effects of the ratios of sediment size-to-hydraulic radius, Ks=d50/Rh, on the jet scour ...

Abstract: Nonaqueous reaction foam polyurethane (PU) grouting materials have found wide applications in civil engineering. However, degradation laws and mechanism of the strength performance of PU grouting materials in different ...

Abstract: The gravity-type fish cage is extensively applied with the increasing demand for fishery products. The flotation ring is its main load-bearing component and supports the whole cage. So it is ...

Abstract: Unprecedented high-rise buildings pose new challenges for earthquake engineering. Full-field structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have flourished to address these challenges. In this study, a smart SHM system with ...

Abstract: Due to the complicated geological conditions and complex loads, the pile–soil interaction is a three-dimensional (3D) and highly nonlinear problem. Conventional numerical models have deficiencies to model the nonlinear ...

Abstract: Being exposed to weather directly or indirectly for more than 100 years, ancient timber buildings have experienced different levels of mechanical degradation. Especially the mortise-tenon joints, which play a crucial ...
