Abstract: This paper presents experimental and numerical results of the elastic–plastic response and buckling of

Abstract: Because the porous multiphase nature of circular arc canyon media has an essential influence on the scattering of seismic waves, elastic media, as well as saturated porous media, do not fully respond to the actual properties ...

Abstract: Accurate evaluation of the stability of three-dimensional (3D) slopes in seismically active regions is crucial. However, conventional assessments of slope stability often utilize the classic Mohr–Coulomb criterion to ...

Abstract: Abstract Recently, the thermodynamic behavior of unsaturated soils has received increasing attention because of the requirements of energy geotechnical structures and climate evolution. Nonisothermal conditions have rarely ...

Abstract: The often-reported premature failures of expansion joints of long-span steel bridges call for a better understanding of their performance in service conditions. This paper presents the long-term monitoring and analysis of ...

Abstract: Analyzing the influencing factors in expressway traffic crashes is an important aspect of traffic safety analysis. This study examines detailed data from 217 crashes that took place from 2015 to 2016 on the Shaoyang–Xinhuang ...

Abstract: combined tropical cyclone dynamic initialization?three-dimensional variational data assimilation scheme (TCDI?3DVAR) is proposed. The specific procedure for the new initialization scheme is described as follows. First, a ...
