Abstract: Monitoring data of civil structures mainly include load- and temperature-induced structural responses. Traditional damage-detection methods use vibration-based structure responses by eliminating temperature effects from ...

Abstract: Destructive tsunami waves may cause failure of the pile-supported nearshore structures, hence, accurate prediction of tsunami wave interaction with piles is a primary engineering concern in the field of coastal management ...

Abstract: The importance of transnational public–private partnership (TPPP) has accelerated over the last decade, and the critical risk factors (CRFs) of TPPP have gained increasing attention from both researchers and practitioners. ...

Abstract: Due to the growing trend of world economic globalization and “The Belt and Road” initiative launched by the Chinese government, transnational public–private partnership (TPPP) has become a crucial way for construction and ...

Abstract: A waste heat assessment of a manufacturing facility was conducted. A physical survey identified potential waste heat sources. For these sources, the temporal fluctuations in temperature and flowrate, and the frequency of ...

Abstract: In order to reduce the cost of a pedestrian suspension bridge in a river canyon, a hyperbolic paraboloid space cable hanging network pedestrian suspension bridge in a river canyon is proposed in this paper. The hyperbolic ...

Abstract: The Svee formula plays a crucial role in assessing the stability of hydropower systems with an air cushion surge chamber (ACSC). This formula is derived from the Thoma formula, a stability criterion for the common open-surge ...
