Abstract: Abstract To investigate the dynamic response characteristics, energy dissipation mechanisms, and damage evolution of red sandstone subjected to combined freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) and repeated impact loading (RIL), a ...

Abstract: AbstractPrecast segmental pier columns (PSPCs) have been recently developed in the context of accelerated bridge construction. Although extensive studies have examined the seismic performance of bridges with PSPCs, research ...

Abstract: o examine the long-term stability of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, idealized simulations are carried out with the climate model ECHAM5/Max Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPI-OM). Atmospheric CO2 concentration is increased ...

Abstract: In this paper, a probabilistic framework for constructing a dynamic modified model for RC columns was developed based on dynamic loading test results and the Bayesian updating method. The influences of strain rate on the ...

Abstract: Compared to the seismic motions recorded on the onshore sites, the quantity of offshore earthquake recordings is very limited. This paper presents a novel method to simulate spatially varying ground motions at multiple ...

Abstract: AbstractA series of shake-table tests were performed on a half-scale two-story steel building with seismic collectors in a composite floor and an unfilled metal deck roof using the large high-performance outdoor shake table ...

Abstract: AbstractLarge stone asphalt mixture (LSAM) base layers for pavements demonstrate outstanding rutting resistance and lower engineering costs, potentially mitigating the structural damage often observed in traditional flexible ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study developed a MnFe2O4/RHB composite catalyst through a straightforward one-step hydrothermal method, in which spinel-type manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) was uniformly supported on rice husk biochar (RHB), ...
