Abstract: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes have been widely adopted for municipal pipeline projects all over the world. HDPE pipe failures, including reduced flow capacity and wall buckling, have been reported extensively, and ...

Abstract: Hydraulic conductivity of polyanionic cellulose (PAC)–amended bentonite (PB) in calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions was investigated to access its chemical compatibility in vertical cutoff walls application. PB was synthesized ...

Abstract: Biostimulated microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an innovative soil improvement approach utilizing indigenous ureolytic microbes to hydrolyze urea. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect ...

Abstract: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are widely used throughout the world due to their significant advantages. Most of the previous studies have focused on the behavior of the pipe-soil system under live loading and the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a distributed formation control for multirobot dynamic systems with external disturbances and system uncertainties. First from the Lagrangian analysis, the dynamic model of a wheeled mobile robot can ...

Abstract: A design method is presented, which aims at the optimal crosssectional layout of the multilayer steel tube umbilical. The merit of the method is to improve the tension stiffness and the fatigue life of umbilical. An ...

Abstract: This paper presents a field study of installation effects of deep mixed columns on properties of the sensitive Ariake marine clay. Cone penetration tests were performed in the field to evaluate the change in the strength ...

Abstract: To study the real dynamic response regularity of asphalt pavement structure under dynamic load, a road test was conducted for three types of typical asphalt pavement. Dynamic and static deflection basins were established. ...
