Abstract: In this paper, a system failure probability method, considering principal failure modes of the soil-nailing retaining structure and random factors of the system, is put forward. Taking the excavation of the east public ...

Abstract: A jet impingement system equipped with extended jet holes was experimentally evaluated in this study. To reproduce a strong crossflow condition, the jet impingement configuration featured a multiple-jet array of 16 × 5 ...

Abstract: In narrow waterways, navigation restrictions are imposed on vessels based on beam and length to safely accommodate two-way traffic. Each transit in a narrow waterway can potentially generate delay for the rest of the vessels ...

Abstract: Modelbased systems engineering (MBSE) with SysML has become one of the best solutions to the system design of complex systems, which usually requires the collaboration of different disciplines. Webbased collaborative ...

Abstract: Recently, increasing nutrient (i.e., nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations have been observed in the surface water of many countries and this nonpoint source (NPS) pollution has become an important factor in the deterioration ...

Abstract: This paper aims to evaluate the performance of asphalt individually reinforced by six types of fibers, including three organic and three inorganic fibers, to study the interface between fibers and asphalt, and to analyze ...
