Abstract: Elevation information and its derivation, such as grade, are very important in analyses of traffic operation, safety performance, and energy consumption on highways. Google Earth (GE) is considered a reliable source of ...

Abstract: Ever increasingly, corrosion-induced steel bridge deterioration, particularly near or at the welded joints, has led to a huge economic burden in the United States. There is, however, no sufficient information about weldment ...

Abstract: Herringbone gear transmission system is widely used in high-speed overloaded fields such as ships. Tooth deformation and installation error, which can cause meshing impact, load mutation, and load uneven, will seriously ...

Abstract: Considering the nonlinearity and heterogeneity of geotechnical materials, the ultimate pullout capacity of a shallow horizontal strip anchor plate is determined based on the upper-bound limit analysis theory and the nonlinear ...
