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: Drivers who make wrong-way entries onto freeways pose a serious risk to the safety of other motorists and themselves. As a new countermeasure to mitigate the wrong-way entry issue, directional rumble strips (DRSs) were ...

Abstract: The effect of curing temperature on hydration of a ternary blend of calcium aluminate cement (CAC), calcium sulfate (C$), and limestone (Cc) was examined. Compressive strength was evaluated at 1, 7, and 28 days. ...

Abstract: Epidemics and other public health emergencies significantly impact medical and health service systems. The exploitation of some advanced technologies in Fangcang shelter hospitals—emergency medical service solutions adopted ...

Abstract: Understanding the effects of zonal variation of the East Asian subtropical westerly jet (EAWJ) on spatial features of heavy precipitation events requires characterization of the shape, orientation, position, and scale of ...

Abstract: Flexoelectricity exists in all inhomogeneously deformed dielectric materials and is of great interest in engineering science, especially in microelectromechanical systems. However, the flexoelectricity is relatively small ...

Abstract: This paper presents a field study of the lateral monotonic and cyclic behavior of jet-grouting, reinforced, cast-in-place piles in soft soils. To assess the contribution of the jet-grouting reinforcement, nine instrumented ...
