Abstract: Understanding the moisture migration of unsaturated soil in response to temperature changes is essential in soil science and geosystems applications. The coupling of thermohydro (TH) processes is a result of changes in ...

Abstract: The heat transfer process in soil depends on its thermal conductivity property and is affected by soil compositional and environmental factors, such as soil gradation, mineralogy components, compaction moisture content, ...

Abstract: Rehabilitation of concrete structures by using synthetic resins such as epoxy is increasing worldwide. Understanding the structural behavior of the resultant composite structure and the interaction between the coating and ...

Abstract: This paper presents reliability-based analyses for the calibration of resistance factor for axially loaded drilled shafts. A total of 16 cases of drilled-shaft load tests were collected from the Louisiana Department of ...

Abstract: Rehabilitation of concrete structures by using synthetic resins such as epoxy is increasing worldwide. Understanding the structural behavior of the resultant composite structure and the interaction between the coating and ...

Abstract: Ground heat exchangers (GHEs) are commonly modeled using the finite-element (FE) method for the design and evaluation of the GHE performance. However, one of the disadvantages of these FE models is the huge computational ...
