Abstract: This paper presents the experimental investigation of the hysteretic behavior of a self-centering prestressed concrete (SCPC) beam-to-column connection under cyclic loading. The SCPC connection utilizes unbonded posttensioned ...

Abstract: Vehicle lane changing is one of the most important topics in autonomous driving and is the behavior most likely to cause vehicle accidents. In order to optimize the performance of vehicle lane change by controlling the ...

Abstract: The reflection of projected laser lines may be used to determine the three-dimensional geometry of the reflecting weld pool surface. However, for gas metal arc welding (GMAW), the transfer of ...

Abstract: Recently, oil and gas pipeline leaks in mountainous areas have occurred occasionally. A dynamic risk assessment system has been established to better understand and reveal the risk evolution of such accidents to monitor ...

Abstract: Previously proposed self-centering moment-resisting frames relied on gap opening and closing in the beam–column interface to achieve recentering capability and energy dissipation capacity. The gap-opening mechanism in the ...
