Abstract: It is widely acknowledged that the occurrence of seismic force and cracks will increase the active earth pressure acting on a retaining wall. In this work, a kinematic approach for the evaluation of seismic active earth ...

Abstract: In this study, a latex membrane with a diameter of 50 mm and thickness of 0.5 mm is used to encase an injection hole. The gap between the membrane and the nail rod is fixed to achieve compaction grouting and to ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental investigation into the effects of particle size distribution of subgrade soil on mud pumping. The results show that subgrade soils with higher fine contents do not necessarily lead to more ...

Abstract: For the canard rotor/wing (CRW) aircraft, the elliptical wing with blunt trailing edge poses challenges to control surfaces and flap design. Based on the characteristics of CRW aircraft, an active circulation control (CC) ...

Abstract: A rapid path planning (RPP) method that fast generates suboptimal zero propellant maneuver (ZPM) paths was proposed previously, and to further enhance the planning performance, the differential flatness of the model is ...

Abstract: In this paper, an effective strategy is proposed to realize the smooth visualization of large-scale finite element models on a desktop computer. Based on multicore parallel and graphics processing unit (GPU) computing ...

Abstract: The tamping energy or tamping momentum usually is adopted to evaluate the efficiency of dynamic compaction (DC), meaning that the same tamping energy or tamping momentum leads to the same strengthening effect to the soil. ...

Abstract: Site survey revealed that a liquefiable sand layer was often sandwiched by low-permeable layers with fine particles, which could hinder the dissipation of excess pore water pressure (EPWP) after earthquake excitation. ...
