Abstract: The mechanical behavior of a sandy clay soil was investigated by a series of constant water content triaxial tests on unsaturated samples with suction measurements. The tests were carried out in double-cell triaxial cells ...

Abstract: The Madeira Airport runway has recently been extended with a

Abstract: When a liquid solution is cooled as it flows laminarly through a tube, a radial concentration gradient is established, which causes mass transfer of the solute to occur toward the tube wall. ...

Abstract: A theoretical study of the free-surface flow of a viscoelastic fluid around a horizontal cylinder is reported in this paper. The fluid layer has initially a uniform thickness, and, at some ...

Abstract: Thermal effects have been frequently associated with concrete‐bridge damage. The nonlinear temperature distributions that arise in bridges are not easily estimated and are often considered in a simplified way, which may ...

Abstract: In urban area mobility, passenger transport plays a fundamental role in meeting the objectives of economic competitiveness, social cohesion, and sustainable growth for neighborhoods, cities, regions, or countries. However, ...

Abstract: Measurements of whole-body vibration are fundamental to access and evaluate comfort levels and possible injury development in the human being. International standards such as ISO 2631 and ISO 10326 are dedicated to the ...

Abstract: Circular Couette flow of inelastic shear-thinning materials in annuli is examined. The curved streamlines of the circular Couette flow can cause a centrifugal instability leading to toroidal ...
