Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the fatigue behavior of cracked steel beams strengthened using different patch systems and high-strength materials. These materials included normal modulus carbon fiber–reinforced ...

Abstract: ulerian and Lagrangian statistics of the surface flows over the South China Sea (SCS) are investigated based on observations of satellite-tracked Lagrangian drifters of the Surface Velocity Program. Although the dataset ...

Abstract: ddy?mean flow decomposition is crucial to the estimation of Lagrangian diffusivity based on drifter data. Previous studies have shown that inhomogeneous mean flow induces shear dispersion that increases the estimated ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical simulation on the collapse behavior and structural stability of a reinforced concrete superlarge cooling tower subjected to strong winds. Results demonstrated that the cooling tower locally ...

Abstract: AbstractThe present study reconciles theoretical differences between the Lagrangian diffusivity and effective diffusivity in a transformed spatial coordinate based on the contours of a quasi-conservative tracer. In the ...

Abstract: Modeling air movement in sewer systems is important because of its importance in addressing sewer odor issues and pipe corrosion. In this study, a steady-state model was developed for simulating the air pressure and movement ...

Abstract: Tidal flow has a significant influence on the mooring safety of vessels in deep-sea ports. In order to ensure the mooring safety of vessels, improving the structure form of the wharf can decrease the tidal effect, especially ...

Abstract: This paper investigates damage and healing of cementitious materials based on fly ash (FA) with a special focus on the effect of repeated loading on the self-healing performance. In total, 90 prism specimens and 33 cylinder ...
