Abstract: A numerical framework to study the morphology change of microstructure and ionic diffusivity of leached cement pastes is proposed. According to a two-scale microstructure model, the leached cement paste in the course of ...

Abstract: In northern Alaska, the ground is largely underlain by permafrost. Many engineering problems in this region can be attributed to the variations of ground thermal regime. Engineering projects such as construction of gas ...

Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of four preventive maintenance treatments (thin overlay, slurry seal, chip seal, and crack seal) on five typical pavement performances (roughness, rutting, transverse ...

Abstract: To research the quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of intelligent vehicles from user operating conditions to test operating conditions in proving ground, a matching model and evaluation model of intelligent vehicle ...

Abstract: Rainfall erosion in slopes is a common natural disaster threatening the safety of urban infrastructure and farmland and the full life cycle sustainability of construction. In this study, a large-scale field test was performed ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study of the mechanical properties of a binary mixture of similar prolate ellipsoids of various particle shapes and fines’ contents using the discrete element method. The ratio of the major ...

Abstract: The morphology of fragments produced by grain fragmentation is a cause for great concern in many areas such as rockfill dam and the mining industry. Therefore, there is a need to conduct a quantitative analysis of the ...

Abstract: Under the condition of urban rail transit uncertainty of passenger demand and the high frequency of departure intervals, this study presents an innovative real-time urban rail transit (URT) train service scheduling control ...

Abstract: Stainless steel liners are being used with increasing frequency for the trenchless rehabilitation of damaged water supply pipelines in China. At present, there is little research on the buckling resistance of stainless ...
