Abstract: A particular method for determining the critical load of linear structures partially or totally located in different elastic media is presented. It can be used to calculate the buckling load of pile–columns (columns partially ...

Abstract: In this study, water flow over rectangular sharp-crested side weirs of various heights and widths was investigated. The distribution of the three-dimensional velocity over the crest and in the vicinity of the side weir was ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of the soil moisture evaporation rate on the soil water retention curve (SWRC) of clays obtained using the high-capacity tensiometer (HCT) technique and following the continuous drying ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of temperature variations on the creep and stress relaxation behavior of clay samples from London Bank Station. The independent and coupled effects of strain rate and temperature on ...

Abstract: Computer models have been used to analyze the thermodynamic performance of a gas turbine (GT) cogeneration system and an internal combustion engine (IC) cogeneration system. The purpose of this ...

Abstract: In this research, the performance of three rapid methods for evaluation of chloride resistance of concrete, including the rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT), rapid chloride migration test (RCMT), and electrical resistance ...

Abstract: Circular-crested weirs are overflow structures with a reasonably high discharge coefficient, compared with that of sharp- and broad-crested weirs. In this study, combining the potential flow around a circular cylinder and ...

Abstract: Foamed concrete is a versatile lightweight concrete that is finding increasing use in various application areas. A major concern with foamed concrete is its stability. Air voids can become unstable during production and ...
