Abstract: The lateral–torsional buckling behavior of general prismatic and tapered steel members with doubly and singly symmetric sections are investigated based on the general forms of differential equilibrium equations for minor-axis ...

Abstract: A particle-based numerical manifold method (PNMM) is developed to investigate rock fracturing behavior under dynamic loading. The basic idea of PNMM is to represent the microstructure of rock with a group of particles and ...

Abstract: Hydraulic conductivity of soil-bentonite (SB) slurry-trench cutoff walls is highly influenced by the stress state. A model based on force equilibrium is proposed to predict the stresses in SB cutoff walls, considering not ...
