Abstract: Due to the increase in global terror threats, many resources are being invested in efforts to find and utilize efficient protective means and technologies against blast waves induced by conventional and nonconventional ...

Abstract: A study of deformations, which is based on the use of geodetic measurements, is usually performed by defining a kinematic model. Such a model, when used to describe a complex geophysical environment, can lead to a partial ...

Abstract: Shoring towers are the common formwork solution for high-clearance construction, but there are not many documented cases of extremely high towers. This paper reports on a project in which 60-m-(200-ft-) high shoring towers ...

Abstract: The demand for product customization and flexible manufacturing techniques is growing day by day to meet the rapid changes in customer requirements. The current review presents the developments in the domains of incremental ...
