Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for checks of the internal stability of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls reinforced with steel strips. The internal stability of ...

Abstract: A logical framework is developed for the LRFD of slopes based on reliability analysis. The LRFD of slopes with resistance factors developed in this manner ensures that a target probability of slope failure is not exceeded. ...

Abstract: The validity of using the existing numerical

Abstract: The aviation environmental design tool (AEDT) is simulation software for estimating the environmental ramifications of aircraft. Because the AEDT would be repeatedly used for applications such as airport noise assessment, ...

Abstract: The global seaport sector made huge efforts in relation to port reform and technological development since the 1990s. This study attempts to systematically estimate the impacts of these efforts on world ports’ efficiency ...

Abstract: In this study, the resistance factors (RF) in the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) for the drilled-shaft foundation of transmission line structures subjected to lateral loads were investigated. Various load test ...

Abstract: External stimuli can stimulate a designer's creativity and improve the outcome of design ideation for product/service concept generation. A psychological phenomenon that may occur during such utilization of external stimuli ...

Abstract: Industry 4.0, as the fourth industrial revolution, represents significant challenges and numerous innovation opportunities for future product realization. A critical area of Industry 4.0 is the advancement of new design ...

Abstract: Recently, there has been a growing interest in studying cellular materials made of unit cells that take the topology of the mathematically known triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). Architected foams based on the ...
