Abstract: Steel‐concrete composite box girder bridges may have a flexible open box section‐prior to the placement of the slab. Excessive twist or distortion can arise under construction loading. Bracing systems are usually installed ...

Abstract: In this paper a new method is proposed to analyze the mechanical response of a linear viscoelastic pavement. The material parameters of the asphalt concrete are characterized by the relaxation modulus and creep compliance, ...

Abstract: Unbonded concrete overlay (UBCO) is a widely used rehabilitation technique for deteriorated pavements, which is accomplished by placing concrete overlay on top of existing pavement with a sandwiched bond breaker layer ...

Abstract: The recirculation of leachate is a common strategy to accelerate the decomposition of municipal solid waste in landfills. In this study, leachates from a conventional landfill cell without supplemental liquid addition ...
