Abstract: It may be important to consider the effect of the spatial variation of strong ground motion when determining the dynamic response of spatially extended structures. In this paper an empirical space‐time earthquake ground ...

Abstract: The contact between vehicle tire and pavement surface random field is typically modeled as a point contact in the literature of vehicle-pavement interaction. In reality, tire-pavement interface can be considerably larger ...

Abstract: As a kind of asphaltic material, hot-poured sealant with initial aging or failure will gradually self-heal during the change of ambient in the actual service process, so as to restore its service performance to a certain ...

Abstract: A series of triaxial creep tests were carried out on fractured limestone specimens under multilevel loading and unloading cycles to capture elastoviscoplastic strain components. A new data processing algorithm was proposed ...

Abstract: To better understand the shear behavior of infilled rock joints with standard joint roughness coefficient (JRC) profiles, direct shear experiments are performed on sand and clay infilled joints prepared by reproducing the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates fracture toughness and subcritical crack growth of marble, lherzolite, and amphibolite under different environments aiming to better understand the effect of environment, especially the acidic ...
