Abstract: Vugs and fractures are the main channels within porous rock aquifers and play a dominant role in the water inrush of the karst tunnel. In this paper, a mathematical model of the coupled free-fluid seepage-fluid with ...

Abstract: Frequent earthquakes, coupled with discontinuous geological conditions, complicate the earthquake dynamic response characteristics of slopes. To reveal the dynamic accumulative damage effect and instability mechanism of a ...

Abstract: This study explored the remediation of coal tar–contaminated sand with smoldering combustion using vegetable oil as supplemental fuel. In this work, bench-scale column experiments were conducted one factor at a time to ...

Abstract: Cold-mixed epoxy-asphalt mixture (CMEAM) has gradually received increased attention in steel bridge pavement construction due to its excellent road performance and low harmful gas emissions. According to previous studies, ...

Abstract: Due to the lack of essential understanding of asphalt foaming behavior, engineering problems such as mix design failure and unstable performance of foamed asphalt cold recycling mixtures are prone to occur. This paper ...

Abstract: Modeling and characterizing high-dimensional aerodynamic pressures, on the elevator in the hoistway, is very challenging. An accurate model is helpful to understand and analyze the pressure characteristics, which is a vital ...

Abstract: Conduits, the main channels within a rock mass, can significantly affect the permeability characteristics of rock masses. This paper presents a Stokes–Brinkman–Darcy coupling model to study the permeability characteristics ...

Abstract: Fluid flow and heat transfer of a gas stream in various ducts have been studied thoroughly before. However, in real applications, a gas stream usually contains dust particles, whose effects have typically been neglected. ...
