Abstract: The properties of slag-rich cement paste are fundamentally associated with slag chemistry. In the present research, 10 slags covering the common chemistry range, including eight synthetic slags of CaO─ SiO2─ Al2O3─ MgO ...

Abstract: Hydrologic impacts of land disturbance and management can be confounded by rainfall variability. As a consequence, attempts to gauge and quantify these effects through streamflow monitoring are typically subject to ...

Abstract: This study analyzes variations in the model-projected changes in catchment runoff response after urbanization that stem from variations in the spatial distribution of impervious areas, interevent differences in temporal ...

Abstract: Previous housing price studies based on hedonic price modeling have mainly focused on applying various factors, including built environment variables in the analysis, without establishing a comprehensive theoretical framework ...

Abstract: In acoustic signal–based natural gas pipeline leak detection, it is a technical difficulty to effectively remove the strong background noise hidden in the acoustic signal. Unfortunately, existing techniques usually study ...

Abstract: Construction safety has always been a major concern in the engineering field, and studies have noted that noncompliance tasks have a significant impact on the behavior of individuals. However, from the perspective of task ...

Abstract: A general reflection coefficient (GRC) is defined to determine the equivalent uniform stress on an underground arched structure subjected to a subsurface explosion. The single-degree-of-freedom model approach is adopted ...

Abstract: Selective assembly is a method to achieve high precision fit using low precision parts. The current practices in selective assembly lack a physical process model to guide the design and process ...

Abstract: Consider that the Mable Creek silt in central Alaska liquefied during the November 2002 earthquake. Subsequently, frozen samples of these fine-grained soils were retrieved for laboratory study. This paper presents the ...
