Abstract: The objective of this study was to discuss the distribution features of dynamic deflection basins of distressed asphalt pavements using the dynamic finite element method. Based on the results obtained by systematic analysis, ...

Abstract: To attain the data of effective dynamic deflection basin utilized to implement modulus backcalculation of asphalt pavement, by dynamic finite element method, the solution method of damping coefficients of pavement structural ...

Abstract: Variability in soil moisture has implications for regional terrestrial environments under a warming climate. This paper focuses on the spatiotemporal variability in the intra-annual persistence of soil moisture in China ...

Abstract: Dewatering must be conducted for shallow confined aquifers located below deep excavations. However, its effects on ground settlement remain unclear, due to the complicated seepage and stress condition of the strata. In ...

Abstract: The hydrological processes of the middle-lower reaches of the Hanjiang River have been altered significantly because of water diversion and reservoir construction. The combined wavelet transformed Mann-Kendall (WT-MK) trend ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper reports a consistent seesaw relationship between interdecadal precipitation variability over North China and the Southwest United States, which can be found in observations and simulations with several ...

Abstract: With increasing environmental awareness, the demand for bio-based lubricants is escalating, positioning vegetable oils as viable alternatives to traditional industrial lubricants. This study employs comprehensive factor ...
