Abstract: Graphene is an auspicious nanomodified material for asphalt pavements. This study aims to evaluate the effect of graphene composites (GCs) on the adhesion characteristics of asphalt based on surface-free energy (SFE) theory. ...

Abstract: The ventilated well method (VWM) is a recently introduced novel dewatering and densification technique for soft soils that relies on controlled evaporation through ventilated and perforated wells traversing through the ...

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of electrically conductive asphalt concrete (ECAC) by adding multiplex electrically conductive materials. First, it is proved that all the mechanical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive statistical study on crack and leakage defects of road tunnel linings in China with newly proposed quantitative indexes that can be easily evaluated by robotic inspection techniques. ...

Abstract: In order to study the damage evolution characteristics of recycled composite micropowder concrete (RCMC) under the coupling of freeze–thaw cycles and bending load and establish a damage constitutive model, a test of the ...

Abstract: The thermal conductivity of soil is an important parameter in many engineering problems involving heat transfer, such as in ground source heat pump systems and freeze-thaw prevention projects. In these projects, not only ...

Abstract: The design of a gradient structural concrete component was investigated to improve the durability of concrete structures under harsh environments. On the basis of the theory of functionally graded materials with high crack ...

Abstract: A model experiment is performed to test the rockfall impact force applied to frame shed tunnels under the protection of different types of cushions embedded on tunnel roof slabs. The changing rule of impact force induced ...
