Abstract: The bed sediments in most rivers and estuaries usually consist of mixtures of sand and mud formed by silt and clay particles. Past studies of mud have focused mainly on the cohesive properties of the mud due to the presence ...

Abstract: This paper presents an application of the maximum information entropy concept to formulate an equilibrium beach profile (EBP) associated with the long-term beach evolution. The model assumes the beach profile is monotonic ...

Abstract: Predicting the retreat of a coastal soft cliff is a difficult and uncertain operation, which has both theoretical and practical significance. Recession of soft cliffs occurs through a combination of processes, including ...

Abstract: This note presents some initial analysis of the chronology effect on critical shoreline erosion statistics using a recently developed numerical model. A 16-year hindcast wave data set from the East Coast of England was ...

Abstract: The impact-echo method is applied to evaluate the grout quality in tendon ducts of posttensioned structures nondestructively in the present study. As the main evaluation index, the dominant frequency (DFQ) is obtained from ...

Abstract: Trailing-edge mixing flows associated with coolant injection are complex and result in significant aerodynamics losses. A series of tests on a high-pressure turbine vane cascade with trailing-edge injection were conducted ...
