Abstract: Increasing dynamic shear modulus of asphalt binder is one effective measure of improving modulus of asphalt mixture at high temperature. Dynamic shear modulus of asphalt binder may improve through modifying asphalt with ...

Abstract: The 50-year design reference period is coming to an end for many dam projects in China. In the last decade, it has become clear that remaining service life analysis of existing dams must be used to optimally manage the ...

Abstract: The owner-responsibility system is conducted for implementation of the Three Gorges Project (TGP). For the construction management of the project, the contracting system, the contract administration system, and the ...

Abstract: Pavement markings serve to convey information to drivers, regulate driving behavior, and effectively mitigate traffic congestion and reduce accidents. Nonetheless, due to traffic exposure and temperature stress, pavement ...

Abstract: The velocity, shape, and trajectory of the rising bubble in polyacrylamide (PAM) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) aqueous solutions were experimentally investigated using a set of homemade velocimeters ...

Abstract: The rock foundation of a gravity dam is usually cut into slide blocks by the structural surfaces. Its stability is controlled by the characteristics and the combining action of these structural surfaces. The failure of a ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic performance, structural strength, and wheel weight are three important factors in the design process of the radial turbine. This paper presents an investigation on these aspects ...

Abstract: This work presents a mathematical model for simulating the swirling flow in an outward convex corrugated tube with twistedtape insert (CT). The synergistic effect on the flow, heat transfer, and friction loss behaviors ...
