Abstract: There will be transition zones of electric current near the electrodes, if the electric conductive area of electrodes is smaller than that of soil. Electroosmosis tests show that the electric current in the transition zones ...

Abstract: The spatial distribution of hydraulic gradients within a soil sample under cyclic flow with different frequencies was measured and compared with calculated results. The permeability within the soil before and after cyclic ...

Abstract: This case history presents an application of dynamic compaction in placement of a road embankment with a height of 41 m on the Yuncheng-Sanmenxia Expressway, Shanxi Province, China. The monitoring results during the ...

Abstract: This paper presents details of a large field trial and some observations conducted to evaluate the practical efficiencies of geosynthetically reinforced asphalt pavements in Shanxi Province, China. Three glass-fiber grids ...

Abstract: This article presents the Origaker, a novel multi-mimicry quadruped robot. Based on a single-loop spatial metamorphic mechanism, the Origaker is able to transform between different working modes, as the reptile-, arthropod-, ...

Abstract: It is widely known that concrete structures in cold and humid environments usually suffer frost damage and thus deteriorate faster, especially those structures without using air-entraining agents and with exposure to ...
