Abstract: An experimental investigation of the shaft resistance of single vertical and batter piles pushed into sand was conducted. A prototype laboratory setup was designed for testing relatively large model piles, inclined at an ...

Abstract: This paper is set in the context of constraint-based construction alternative scheduling with complex temporal constraints. In construction schedules, the relationships among constraints directly impact the scheduling ...

Abstract: When exposed to fire, load-bearing mass timber structures, such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), soften and decompose, which causes significant deformation and weakening, ultimately leading to failure. A combined experimental ...
