RISLimit Analysis of Active and Passive Mechanisms of Shallow Tunnels in Nonassociative Soil with Changing Water Table
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The evaluation of the failure mechanism of a shallow tunnel is very significant in geotechnical engineering. In this literature an analytical methodology for determining the plane strain limit failure mechanism for a shallow ...
Roles of the Rocky Mountains in the Atlantic and Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulations

Experimental Study on the Thermal Performance of the Shape-Stabilized Phase Change Material Floor Used in Passive Solar Buildings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The novel shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) has the following salient features: large apparent specific heat for the phase change temperature region, suitable thermal conductivity, and ...
Experimental and Numerical Analysis on Coupled Hygro-Thermo-Chemo-Mechanical Effect in Early-Age Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: High-performance concrete easily generates early-age cracks due to its sharp and large temperature and relative humidity (RH) changes. The temperature and RH with and without axial compressive stress were experimentally ...
Water Retention Curve with Different Void Ratios over a Wide Suction Range and Its Application to Shear Strength
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Shear strength (τ) analysis has received considerable attention, because of its importance when designing various geotechnical structures, such as tunnels, retaining walls, shallow foundations, and slopes. Predicting the ...
Adaptive Multipopulation Evolutionary Algorithm for Contamination Source Identification in Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Real-time monitoring of drinking water in a water distribution system (WDS) can effectively warn of and reduce safety risks. One of the challenges is to identify the contamination source through these observed data due to ...
Fracture Performance of GFRP Bars Embedded in Concrete Beams with Cracks in an Alkaline Environment
