Abstract: To estimate life-cycle cost and future seismic capacity, the life-cycle analysis in seismic design of bridges is formulated as an interactive multiobjective decision-making and optimization problem. Specifically, preference ...

Abstract: Artificial frozen soils (AFS) have been used widely as temporary retaining walls in strata with soft and water-saturated soil deposits. After excavations, frozen soils thaw, and the lateral earth pressure penetrates through ...
