Abstract: In this paper, two types of acrylics, polyacrylate (PA), a copolymer of methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, and others, and polyurethane-modified PA (PU/PA), are investigated in their interactions with inorganic phases in ...

Abstract: The present study attempts to fix the location of thermal throat by employing transverse fuel injection downstream and adding a short constant-area section in the divergent part in a realistic scramjet combustor configuration ...

Abstract: Current design manuals for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structures only allow limited application of FRP in high-temperature environments. However, the residual mechanical properties of FRP composites at high service ...

Abstract: The overtopping process, resulting from landslide-induced waves, has the potential to cause significant damage to downstream infrastructures. To minimize the associated losses, it is essential to study the overtopping ...

Abstract: Due to the limitation of cantilever wall in practice, an innovative retaining structure, named inclined framed retaining wall (IFRW), has been developed. The aim of this investigation is to analyze the factors influencing ...

Abstract: This study utilized a heat-moisture coupling model to characterize the internal microenvironment of concrete and establish the relationship between environmental temperature, humidity, external chloride ions, corrosion ...

Abstract: Embankment stability issues present design and research challenges to geotechnical engineers. Current design methodologies for the stability of embankments on columns are mainly evaluated under assumptions of a shear failure ...
