Abstract: A technique is proposed for determining the reliability of redundant ductile framed structures. A nonlinear structural analysis program and incremental load procedure are used to find the limit state function in load space ...

Abstract: A method to determine the intensity of traffic is a key issue for the control of air pollution from urban transport in order to meet air quality requirements. In this study, by combining the definitions of environmental ...

Abstract: Developing low-carbon and green self-compacting concrete (SCC) is essential for advancing sustainable building materials. In this study, recycled steel fibers (RSFs) and industrial by-products were combined for the production ...

Abstract: Bentonite grouting is utilized widely in geotechnical engineering to stabilize the excavation and prevent seepage in sandy soils. However, the infiltration behavior of bentonite slurry in sandy soil is not well understood, ...
