Abstract: Material properties obtained from characterization tests on a representative cured-in-place pipe material have been incorporated into a finite element model which employs a special “composite” beam ...

Abstract: In the present study, an attempt has been made to establish and analyze a model of a composite working system combining an upper pavement structure and a geocell-reinforced embankment. In the model, the geocell-reinforced ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) is very suitable for simulating large-displacement behavior of rock masses. One fundamental issue commonly encountered in 3D DDA is 3D friction problems. In ...

Abstract: Compared with two-dimensional (2D) contact cases, three-dimensional (3D) contact problems are more complicated in both contact geometry representation and contact detection. The entrance block theory proposed by Shi lays ...

Abstract: The entries of off-street parking lots are the connecting points of urban dynamic traffic and static traffic. When there are signal controls, bus stops, and other traffic facilities in the entrance-affected area, the traffic ...
