Abstract: This brief note presents a rigorous proof of the general solutions obtained by [1977, “On Eigenstresses in Dissimilar Media,” Philos. Mag., 35, pp. 281–292] for a defect in elastic bimaterial ...

Abstract: Rock burst is one of the most hazardous problems that is encountered during tunnel excavation. However, less research concerns tunnel excavation in an interbedded layer with alternating strong and soft layers. In this ...

Abstract: Upon leakage in underground gas pipelines, the interaction between soil particles and gas will produce acoustic events exhibiting varied frequencies, amplitudes, and energy characteristics. In order to obtain the acoustic ...

Abstract: Iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) is an emerging class of material having a great potential for civil engineering, especially seismic engineering applications. However, the behavior of Fe-SMA strongly depends on ...

Abstract: In this study, five double-plate connected concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) composite columns were tested under a uniaxial eccentric compressive load. The test phenomena, load–axial displacement curves, strain analyses, ...

Abstract: Wide moving jams (WMJ) have been reported for over a decade in the three-phase theory. However, existing studies about wide moving jams have mostly been based on simulation data or limited empirical data. In addition, wide ...

Abstract: This study introduces a new type of shear panel damper that utilizes iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) with enhanced low-cycle fatigue (LCF) resistance for structural damage control, with a particular focus on the ...

Abstract: Based on the experimental results, this paper investigates the shear mechanism of reinforced concrete deep beams without stirrups. By analyzing the kinematics of the critical shear crack, it can be found that the compression ...
