Abstract: To explore the entire runout process of a soil–rock mixture (SRM) slope triggered by an earthquake, large deformation finite element (LDFE) analyses combing two-phase random media are conducted. The feasibility and reliability ...

Abstract: The American Dye Manufactures’ Institute (ADMI) 3 and 31 wavelength (WL) methods are the most well-known analytical methods for measuring wastewater true color. However, these two methods use a spectrophotometer as the ...

Abstract: Square foundations often penetrate deeply into seabed sediments so that sufficient bearing capacity is obtained, which inevitably induces large-scale deformation in the surrounding sediments. Most of the previous research ...

Abstract: Textile wastewater containing a high level of color and refractory chemical oxidation demand (COD) is difficult to treat using traditional wastewater treatment processes. Typically, a chemical process was suggested as a ...

Abstract: Construction contractor evaluation is a critical issue in successfully completing a project. It is important for project owners and other stakeholders to identify potentially failing contractors and to avoid awarding them ...

Abstract: This is the first study to apply the barrier option model to predict defaults of construction contractors and to assert that the path-dependent characteristic of the model is very suitable for describing the behavior of ...
