Abstract: As an alternative pipe material, ductile iron pipe (DIP) has been more and more widely used in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) because of its excellent mechanical performance and corrosion resistance. The limited ...

Abstract: In comparison with the transverse vibrations of rectangular plates, far less attention has been paid to the in-plane vibrations even though they may play an equally important role in affecting ...

Abstract: The cumulative plastic deformation of a foundation associated with traffic loading causes subgrade instability, and eventually, failure of retaining structures. In the present study, hollow torsional shear tests were ...

Abstract: Backfilling mine goafs can significantly advance the mining industry; however, few researchers have used geopolymers reinforced with polypropylene fibers as filling materials. In this study, the flexural properties of ...
