Abstract: In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) finite-element model for flooding has been developed, which can be applied to different types of flooding. The theoretical methodology has been introduced in details. The new model ...

Abstract: Copper slag (CS) is a by-product generated during the process of copper metal smelting. The influence of CS on the mechanical performance, hydrate assemblage, and mechanism of the cementitious system was investigated by ...

Abstract: Geogrid-reinforced calcareous sand (GRCS) is an attractive alternative to enhance the bearing capacity and stability of geotechnical structures in island and coastal areas. Understanding the geogrid–particle interaction ...

Abstract: Deformations in dam structures can have a critical impact on dam safety and life. Accurate methods for dam deformation prediction and safety evaluation are thus highly needed. Dam deformations can be predicted based on ...
