Abstract: A five degree-of-freedom model of a bicycle and rider was developed to investigate the system response to inputs from the road as the first step in a unique fatigue failure analysis of a ...

Abstract: In this paper, the vibration damping properties of polymer-modified-cement (PMC) have been studied. The storage modulus

Abstract: The influence of enlarging the base of a pile on the total and end bearing capacities of a pile in ice-rich permafrost is evaluated along with the principles used to evaluate the total capacity of uniform diameter and ...

Abstract: Droughts are an inevitable consequence of meteorological variability, and the design of water resource infrastructure and management strategies to mitigate their effects requires assessment of the risk. Crucial characteristics ...

Abstract: The no‐dig technique has been proven in Europe and Japan as a successful means of constructing underground utilities and drainage works through densely populated areas without causing unacceptable disturbances, by eliminating ...

Abstract: The Fourier solution for thin shell equations models pressure vessels as continuous simply connected surfaces with local loads. The technique allows placement of tractions with combinations of ...

Abstract: In geotechnical engineering, characterization of time-dependent behavior of clayey soils under one-dimensional (1D) constant stress has been controversial. In some special cases, the creep deformation is insignificant ...
