Abstract: This paper concerns analysis of rutting of urban pavements using finite-element modeling, which takes into account the nonlinear behavior of the pavement materials and the complex traffic condition. A viscoplastic constitutive ...

Abstract: The Boussinesq theory for the distribution of stresses in a half-space resulting from surface loads is largely used in road engineering. It is based on the assumption of linear-elastic homogeneous isotropic half-space for ...

Abstract: The continuum model constitutes a simple and efficient tool to analyze high-rise wall-frame buildings. It has been commonly used in recent decades to analyze the behavior of these structures. The related equations are ...
