RISDetermination of Stress Concentration Around an Oblique Hole by a Finite-Element Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A plate weakened by an oblique penetration of a circular cylindrical hole has been investigated. The stress concentration around the hole is determined by a finite-element method. The results ...

Fracture Theory and Crack Propagation Test of Asphalt Mixture Pre-Notched Beam Based on Weight Function Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To investigate the stress state and crack propagation of asphalt surface course bottom, the weight function of a rectangular plate with a single edge crack is derived based on weight function method. The I-II mixed-mode ...
Competitive Adsorption of Phenolic Compounds onto Activated Carbon Fibers in Fixed Bed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For a multicomponent competitive adsorption process, a mathematical model was built to describe the mass transfer kinetics in a fixed-bed adsorber packed with activated carbon fibers (ACFs). The effects of competitive ...
Influence of Multiple Factors on the Shear Fatigue Resistance of Asphalt Pavement Interlayer Adhesive Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Asphalt pavements on steep slope sections in regions with seasonal freezing are affected by loads and the environment, and the shear resistance and shear fatigue performance attenuation of interlayer adhesive materials ...
Effect of Aggregate Properties on Long-Term Skid Resistance of Asphalt Mixture
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research aimed to evaluate the impact of aggregate characteristics on the skid resistance of pavement. Firstly, the mineral composition, wear-resistance property, angularity, and texture of five types of aggregates ...
Flat Cavity Expansion: Theoretical Model and Application to the Interpretation of the Flat Dilatometer Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model for flat cavity expansion in elastic soil. By using the conformal mapping method, the nonaxisymmetric boundary value problem of flat cavity expansion is transformed from the original ...
Tropical Ocean Contributions to California’s Surprisingly Dry El Niño of 2015/16
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe major El Niño of 2015/16 brought significantly less precipitation to California than previous events of comparable strength, much to the disappointment of residents suffering through the state?s fourth consecutive ...
Determination of Critical Slip Surfaces Using Mutative Scale Chaos Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Limit equilibrium is a common method used to analyze the stability of a slope, and minimization of the factor of safety or identification of critical slip surfaces is a classical geotechnical problem in the context of limit ...
Rainfall Infiltration in Chinese Loess by In Situ Observation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the recharge of surface water to groundwater in the Chinese loess area. A monitoring site was set up in Zhengning County, Gansu Province, China. The results show that the shallow ...
