Abstract: Abstract. The superheat limit of a liquid can be predicted using the equation of state, classical nucleation theory, or bubble formation model based on molecular interactions. The spinodal point calculated by the Redlich-Kwong ...

Abstract: Most of the current design methods for driven piles were developed for closed-ended pipe piles driven in either pure clay or clean sand. These methods are sometimes used for H piles as well, even though the axial load ...

Abstract: Rock-socketed piles are often used to transfer heavy loads from a superstructure to competent underlying rock layers. The loads are transferred by the pile to the surrounding rock mass through shaft and base resistance. ...

Abstract: With the growing trend in extreme weather events, establishing an optimal investment plan for infrastructure adaptation has attracted considerable research interest aimed at minimizing future damage in urban areas that ...

Abstract: Climate change has a different impact on each member of society. To reduce the damage caused by climate change, adaptation activities are being initiated, such as expanding the capacity of social infrastructures, and each ...

Abstract: The adaptation of infrastructure to climate change has benefits in the form of reduced disaster damage within the associated area. The beneficiaries of this adaptation are parties who are motivated to take adaptation actions ...

Abstract: This study numerically investigates the undrained bearing capacity of circular foundations founded on a two-layered clay under combined loading of vertical, horizontal, and moment loads using three-dimensional finite-element ...
