Abstract: To investigate the dynamic responses and damage modes of the dome of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank under aircraft impact, a finite-element (FE) model of a 160,000-m3 LNG storage tank for an actual LNG project ...

Abstract: Underground structures provide more effective protection against air blast and surface explosions compared with their aboveground counterparts, but their safety is threatened by subsurface detonations due to the strong ...

Abstract: The global increase in water consumption has led to significant domestic wastewater (DW), with only 55.5% being treated properly. Discharging untreated DW has serious environmental consequences and wastes a valuable resource. ...

Abstract: This study draws inspiration from the chelating abilities of dopamine and tannic acids with Ca2+ in cement-based materials and explores the potential of green tea water (GTW) with tea polyphenols (TP) as the major soluble ...

Abstract: The use of construction waste as a subgrade backfill material is a very promising approach to solve the problems of the rapidly increasing amount of construction waste and the shortage of construction materials. This paper ...

Abstract: In vibration-based damage identification, a common problem is that modal information is not enough and insensitive to local damage. To solve this problem, an effective method is to increase the amount of modal information ...
