Abstract: Multiphysics applications are real world problems with a large number of different shape components that obey different physical laws and manufacturing constraints and interact with each other ...

Abstract: The paper presents a physically simplified method for computing displacements and structural forces on piles under conditions of lateral spreading triggered by the large seaward displacement of a harbor quay wall. The ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to determine the performances of silicon microheat pipes (MHPs) filled with different fluids. The MHP arrays are made of 27 triangular microchannels chemically ...

Abstract: The present research work applies ordinary kriging using an R programming script to map the free surface of an unconfined alluvial aquifer, calculating, at the same time, the standard deviation of the estimations. Moreover, ...

Abstract: Agricultural and waste-derived solid biomass fuels are available in vast amounts for the generation of sustainable energy. Since these fuels usually have rather low heating values, low bulk densities and are disadvantageous ...

Abstract: Advances in materials, design, and control, as well as increasing concerns about the sustainability of the built environment, have provided a background for the development of deployable tensegrity and scissor-like systems, ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of internal curing of high-strength self-consolidating concrete (SCC) using saturated recycled-concrete aggregates is examined in this study. Tests were performed on SCC using natural rock aggregate ...

Abstract: A framework for the estimation of coseismic deformations in the postliquefaction regime is developed based on an extensive database of available cyclic undrained stress-controlled tests on clean sand samples without static ...
