Abstract: The widely used Terzaghi theory for deformation or consolidation in porous materials is based on the effective stress, a rather fictitious quantity, carried by the soil skeleton through the particle contact area, which is ...

Abstract: For realistic design, reliability and failure analysis of materials such as solders for problems in electronic packaging, it is essential to develop and validate appropriate constitutive models. ...

Abstract: The compendium paper (Part 1: Models and Testing) presents details of the thermomechanical-digital image correction (TM-DIC) for testing of solders, test plan under variable temperature and strain ...

Abstract: The differences in corrosion between the erosion mechanisms of sprayed concrete (SpC) and ordinary concrete (OC) under sulfate attack at different corrosion ages were investigated in this paper. Here, 10% sodium sulfate ...

Abstract: The rapid expansion of urban road systems inevitably results in engineering challenges when new road construction requires the safe crossing of existing roads. Therefore, there has been increased interest in box culvert ...

Abstract: The limited efficiency of current supports has led to serious support system problems in loess tunnel construction, which are mainly noted in arch distortion, shotcrete cracking, surface subsidence, and even total structural ...
