Abstract: Asphalt sand is described as a viscoelastoplastic materials. To involve elastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic strain components, a modified Schapery’s model is proposed through adding a viscoplastic term to the Schapery’s ...

Abstract: A strengthening technique incorporating prefabricated prestressed carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) was proposed and evaluated. The flexural performance of bare stone beams strengthened with prefabricated prestressed ...

Abstract: Gap between the outer steel tube and core concrete is a type of initial imperfection that may exist in concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns. This paper is devoted to investigate the influence of the gap on the ...

Abstract: The aggregate skeleton and its evolution under external loads are crucial to evaluate the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixture. This study developed a method to identify the three-dimensionally (3D) aggregate ...
