Abstract: This paper presents a computational and analytical study to identify and elucidate fundamental flow features associated with the desensitization of performance and aerodynamic stability of an axial compressor rotor to tip ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a novel casing treatment to reduce compressor performance and stall margin sensitivities to tip clearance increase. A linked research project on blade design strategies for desensitization ...

Abstract: Many soil retaining walls, which were used to stabilize highway embankments constructed on hillside, were severely damaged during the major earthquake (Chi-Chi earthquake,

Abstract: Due to its complex geometry and mechanical behavior, the prestress design of the cable–pylon anchorage zone is difficult to achieve but critical. In this paper, the use of the strut-and-tie model (STM) is evaluated to ...

Abstract: This paper describes an extension of a new three-dimensional (3D) stability analysis method, including formulation, comparative studies, and examples of new application. The new method uses “two-directional force and moment ...

Abstract: This paper describes a simplified analytical method that considers postinstallation normal stress, normal stress due to soil dilation, and grouting pressure when calculating the maximum shear stress of the nail-soil ...

Abstract: Although ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is known for its exceptional durability and crack resistance, UHPC bridges in harsh environments can still develop cracks. Detecting cracks in concrete structures, analyzing ...

Abstract: This study investigates the seismic performance of round-ended railway bridge piers subjected to transverse bridge loading. Six scaled models of bridge piers with low-reinforcement ratios, low axial compression ratios, and ...

Abstract: As an innovative steel box girder, the normal stress patterns in the top and bottom plates of a cantilever steel box girder are complex. However, the influence of external and internal struts on the shear lag effect is ...
