Abstract: Bird-beak joints are a type of welded square hollow section (SHS) joint, the static strength of which is higher than that of conventional joints. Experimental analyses were conducted on the stress concentration factors ...

Abstract: The low mechanical properties of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) significantly hinder the engineering application of this technology. Four polysaccharide polymers, including low-viscosity ...

Abstract: Sedimentation in a drain system has been recognized as one of the major causes of nuisance flooding produced by localized storms in Southeast Texas. The objective of the study is to assess the sediment load from runoff ...

Abstract: Variable pressure at the sediment/water interface due to surface water waves can drive advective flows into or out of the lake bed, thereby enhancing solute transfer between lake water and pore water in the lake bed. To ...

Abstract: Rock mechanics parameters for underground engineering cannot be rapidly or comprehensively tested on site; thus, this article presents a method for determining rock mechanics parameters using drilling parameters obtained ...
