Abstract: This paper investigates the evaluation procedure of an AASHTO Type 3 precast-prestressed girder that was extensively damaged by truck impact and then repaired using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the dynamics of particle clouds in viscous fluids. Different shapes of frontal head and trailing stems were observed, and particle clouds were classified using data mining ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study that aims to investigate the role of experience in the mode choice of using ridesourcing services. Factors that impact users’ mode choice between traditional modes (i.e., private vehicles ...

Abstract: Prediction of subgouge soil deformation during an ice gouging event is a challenging design factor in Arctic subsea pipelines. An accurate assessment of ice keel–seabed interaction requires expensive model testing and large ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative approach to the design optimization of valved holding chambers (VHCs), crucial devices for aerosol drug delivery. We present the design of an optimal cylindrical VHC body and introduce a ...

Abstract: The interaction and mixing of twin particle clouds in stagnant water were studied by a series of laboratory experiments. The importance of source separation distance and sand particle mass was investigated by introducing ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of laboratory experiments, by placing a turbulent wall jet in the upstream and downstream of a 90° channel bend, to investigate the effects of secondary flow on formation of local ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory experiments was conducted to study the dynamics of sand–water coaxial jets in stagnant water. The effects of the velocity ratio of the annular to the core jets on the sand concentration, velocity, ...
