Abstract: Based on the stochastic process multiple threshold crossings analysis formula, the impact of structural response random process crossing-threshold duration on structural fatigue reliability is studied, which was not involved ...

Abstract: This paper presents a work to define four fundamental concepts, namely, buoyant force, submerged unit weight, seepage force, and critical hydraulic gradients, for saturated geomaterials including soils, rocks, and concrete ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new method for durability life prediction of reinforced concrete structures in a chlorine-eroded environment is presented based on the Gamma process. The Gamma process model is established based on the ...
