Abstract: A new algorithm based on the force analogy method for studying the inelastic structural behaviors subjected to dynamic loadings is proposed. Inelastic analysis is performed based on varying the structural displacement ...

Abstract: A computational method is derived to characterize the energy in inelastic structures and the transfer among various energy forms over the duration of an earthquake. This computational method is based on the force analogy ...

Abstract: Conventionally, the resilient modulus test is conducted in the laboratory under different moisture content in which matric suction is unknown during the test. To investigate the influence of the matric suction on the ...

Abstract: Finite element methods are being used more and more during design, in cases involving compacted soil‐structure interaction. In general, it is not practical to conduct extensive tests to obtain the compacted soil properties ...

Abstract: The synergistic effect of mixing ethylene with propane on the nanostructure and morphology evolution of soot in laminar coflow diffusion flames was investigated via combining thermophoresis sampling and transmission electron ...

Abstract: The implementation of landslide probability analysis was undertaken to evaluate the effect of landsliding on closures of major mountain road networks at Guoshin Township in central Taiwan. To achieve this objective, an ...
