Abstract: The paper reports on the erosion resistance of two types of hydraulic concrete, a plain concrete and a concrete reinforced with a low volume of steel fibers. Flow velocities ranged up to

Abstract: This paper is a summary of the efforts of Working Committee 4 (WC4) for the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence River Basin water levels reference study. A fuzzy relation analysis (FRA) model was used to analyze (including ordering, ...

Abstract: Instability of granular material may lead to catastrophic events such as the gross collapse of earth structures, and thus it is an important topic in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, we adopt the micromechanics ...

Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are perhaps one of the promising candidates for H2 storage in a fuel cell vehicle. However, impurity gases, such as H2O, CO2, CH4, O2, and N2 existing in the process of H2 production, have ...

Abstract: Clay material can be considered as a collection of clusters, which interact with each other mainly through mechanical forces. From this point of view, clay is modeled by analogy to granular material in this paper. An ...
