Abstract: As an unsupported structure, a berthing monopile is often expected to work under harsh conditions. Approaching vessels may introduce considerable berthing energy, resulting in substantial tensile stress on the pile. This ...

Abstract: Traffic flow has been studied numerically by solving the kinematic wave equation with the second-order Monotone Upwind Scheme of Conservation Law (MUSCL), together with the boundary and initial conditions, which are examined ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigations of two types of bonded posttensioned concrete bridge beams under hydrocarbon fire, including the box and tee beams. The factors considered included the load ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the bond durability of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars, steel–fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bars (SFCB), and steel bars embedded in seawater sea-sand ...

Abstract: The effects of environment and fatigue on the electrical resistance and piezoresistivity of the carbon nanotube–cement composite is investigated under a service environment using a four-probe method. The main influencing ...
