Abstract: Generally, multiple risk factors are involved in tunnel construction accidents. Therefore, it is of particular importance to evaluate the mechanisms of multifactor risks and measure coupling risks in tunnel construction ...

Abstract: Multiple corrosion defects on oil and gas pipeline elbows seriously threaten the safe and smooth operation of pipelines. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) model of circumferentially aligned corrosion defects on the ...

Abstract: The balanced cantilever method is the most widely used technique for the construction of large-span segmental prestressed concrete box-girder bridges. In order to control shear cracks at the service limit state, the principal ...

Abstract: ifferent approaches to obtaining uncertainty estimates of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) are explored. The resulting estimates are used to enhance the understanding of spatial variability of the NAO over different ...

Abstract: Slab splitting, resulting from the dispersion of a number of intermediate loads arranged in a line, is a common problem in such engineering structures as steel–concrete composite girders and pylon anchorages of cable-stayed ...
