Abstract: The tamping energy or tamping momentum usually is adopted to evaluate the efficiency of dynamic compaction (DC), meaning that the same tamping energy or tamping momentum leads to the same strengthening effect to the soil. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the shear behavior of steel beam-to-column connections with unequal depth of outer annular stiffener. The depth-to-thickness ratio (D∶t) of the hollow structural section ...

Abstract: This paper researched the rheological properties of activated rubber powder–modified asphalt after aging. However, current aging methods only consider the aging of asphalt binder itself, ignoring the effect of asphalt ...

Abstract: Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–concrete–steel double-skin tubular members (DSTMs) yield much higher strength-to-weight ratios and much better corrosion resistance than traditional reinforced concrete members. The ...

Abstract: To study the effects of ground motion spatial variations on curved bridges, this paper presents a shake-table test for a 1/10-scale typical curved bridge under spatial ground motions, including wave passage effect, local ...

Abstract: Face milling commonly generates surface quality of variation, is especially severe for milling of large-scale components with complex surface geometry such as cylinder block, engine head, and valve body. Thus surface ...
