Abstract: Strong orientation dependent hardness has been observed in both asdeposited and lowtemperature annealed Ti/Ni multilayer thin films. The anisotropic hardness of asdeposited films is attributed to dominant deformation ...

Abstract: This article presents an analytical solution to predict the deformation of a geosynthetic-encased stone column (GESC) and the surrounding soil using a cylindrical cavity-expansion model. The cavity-expansion model is used ...

Abstract: This study presents an analytical solution for predicting the vertical settlement behavior of geosynthetic-encased stone columns (GESCs) and GESC-supported embankments, taking into account the radial bulging deformation ...

Abstract: The need for more efficient water use has increased in importance with growing water scarcity and increasing competition among water users. Measuring the economic efficiency of water use has become a useful indicator for ...

Abstract: Strong thermal effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Ni multilayer thin films was observed from in situ heating during deposition and subsequent annealing. Films deposited at low-temperature show preferred ...

Abstract: Deformations due to environmental and mechanical loads in curved bridges can lead to fairly complex long-term effects. Instead of the one-dimensional longitudinal movement that occur in straight bridges, in curved bridges ...

Abstract: An innovative steel–concrete joint (SCJ) was applied to long-span railway hybrid box girder cable-stayed bridges to achieve favorable force transfer and deformation performance with a running train. The fatigue performance ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the mechanical properties of a synthetic transparent clay to be used in physical geotechnical models. The manufacturing processes of a synthetic transparent clay consisting of Carbopol polymers, ...
