Abstract: An approximate solution for the compression of a bonded thin annular disk is presented based on the so-called Perturbation-Ritz Method. The solution is essentially the outer expansion of the ...

Abstract: This study focused on landslides resulting from heavy precipitation, such as rainfall from hurricanes. A series of centrifuge model simulations were performed with reference to a landslide that occurred during Typhoon Nabi ...

Abstract: A double-layer structure model of pavements that considered interlayer contact status was established to manage the dowel-bar position deviation problem in rigid pavements. The deviation effect of three-dimensional positions, ...

Abstract: entilation, including subduction and obduction, for the global oceans was examined using Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) outputs. The global subduction rate averaged over the period from 1959 to 2006 is estimated at ...

Abstract: Coastal wetlands act as natural buffers against wave energy and storm surges. In the course of energy dissipation, vegetation stems are exposed to wave action, which may lead to stem breakage. An integral component of wave ...

Abstract: To date, the traffic-induced dynamic behavior of geosynthetic-encased stone column-supported embankments (GESC) under traffic cyclic loads accompanied by embankment consolidation has not been well studied. Three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Abstract. Flow around two side-by-side circular cylinders is investigated by an implicit large eddy simulation (ILES) at the spacing ratio T/D=2.0 and Reynolds number Re=3900. First, the results of the stationary case show ...
