Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) numerical model based on unstructured grids has been used to study flow and bed evolution in a laboratory meandering channel bend. The model employs the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations ...

Abstract: There is an increasing demand for jumbo sections and high-strength steel in the construction of modern high-rise buildings. However, there is a lack of knowledge of the behavior of this type of construction, especially ...

Abstract: The American Institute of Steel Construction load and resistance factor design (AISC-LRFD) Specification states that second-order effects should be considered in the design of frames; however, most designers are experienced ...

Abstract: The fracture of beam-to-column connections of steel buildings in the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes generated concerns about the reliability of current design and construction technology for steel connections. The same ...

Abstract: Gusset plate connections with single-angle steel members are commonly used in power transmission towers. However, little research has been carried out with regard to the compressive behavior and design of gusset plates ...

Abstract: A central opening strut system is used to support a diaphragm wall for foundation excavation. This system contains at least one regular polygon module and a number of straight strut members. These strut members connect the ...

Abstract: Adding lanes is a common method to increase the capacity at intersections. The additional turning lanes are often limited by the road configuration. The paper presents a probabilistic model to calculate the total capacity ...

Abstract: The strength and ductility of steel frames depend strongly on the behavior of their beam-to-column connections. The fracture of beam-to-column connections of steel buildings in the Northridge Earthquake generated concern ...

Abstract: Traffic state information, road network structure characteristics, and built environment characteristics are factors influencing traffic safety, which will alleviate or aggravate traffic safety problems. This paper analyzes ...
