Abstract: Field evaluation of the strength properties of jointed rock masses is a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. Typically, laboratory tests using small jointed specimens have difficulty determining the strength ...

Abstract: The Beijing Olympic Watchtower (BOW) is a landmark building with irregular shape and complex structural configuration; however, excessive human-induced vibrations of the sightseeing platform may occur during service, ...

Abstract: Determining vertical earth pressure (VEP) is crucial in designing high-filled cut-and-cover tunnel (CCT) structures. This parameter directly influences the safety and economy of the structure. However, the current pressure ...

Abstract: The associated adsorption of

Abstract: The associated adsorption of Pb2+ and Zn2+ by a novel biosorbent extracted from waste-activated sludge (WAS) after short-time aerobic digestion is systematically investigated by using aqueous binary metal solutions. Zn2+ ...

Abstract: An overhead transmission line system is a typical wind-sensitive structure with high flexibility, light weight, and low structural damping. Wind-induced dynamic reaction of the transmission line system is a determining ...

Abstract: This study utilized a heat-moisture coupling model to characterize the internal microenvironment of concrete and establish the relationship between environmental temperature, humidity, external chloride ions, corrosion ...
