Abstract: The current design standards provide strict recommendations to ensure the quality of welds. This study investigates the mechanical properties of welds subjected to elevated temperatures by performing a steady-state tensile ...

Abstract: Steel structures under fire often remain in corrosive environments for a long period of time. However, research on the high-temperature mechanical properties of corroded steels remains limited. In this study, an artificially ...

Abstract: Steel is prone to rusting in a corrosive environment, which results in a reduction of the effective bearing section of the steel structure. The stress concentration at the location of rusting causes brittle fracture of the ...

Abstract: Rainfall, evaporation, tides and waves make the soil at coastlines show dynamic unsaturated characteristics. In order to cope with landslides, collapses, and coastline receding, microbially induced calcium carbonate ...

Abstract: This paper presents a field study of the lateral monotonic and cyclic behavior of jet-grouting, reinforced, cast-in-place piles in soft soils. To assess the contribution of the jet-grouting reinforcement, nine instrumented ...

Abstract: An equal polygon opposing jet can withstand huge wave drag and serious aerodynamic heating in hypersonic flow conditions. The opposing jet is able to change the flow field structure, and then it improves the aerodynamic ...

Abstract: The S-lay method has been widely used in pipeline installation from shallow water to deep water for decades. In this paper, a novel numerical model for analyzing pipelines in the S-lay problem ...

Abstract: -lay is widely accepted as a favorable method for deepwater pipeline installation. The configuration and internal force of the pipeline during the laying process are key factors for its safety, and the embedment induced ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a method for calculating the deformation displacement of the origami mechanism. The bearing capacity of each face can be analyzed by the relationship between the stress and displacement, which can ...

Abstract: As ride-sharing emerges as a new mobility choice, modeling and control of large-scale multimodal systems in automated and shared environment recently has received significant attention. This paper developed a modeling ...
