Abstract: A pseudostatic analysis, based on the beam on nonlinear Winkler-spring method considering the seismic earth pressure and side friction acting on embedded pile caps, was developed to estimate pile bending moments and shear ...

Abstract: Fundamental and practical investigations on high-temperature strength of materials have made significant contributions to industrial development for the last twenty-five years. However, an additional ...

Abstract: Highly porous activated carbon is used in the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the purification of room air. Since the activated carbon must be capable of removing VOCs at low concentrations through adsorption, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the structural performance of typical Tibetan timber beam-column joints (BCJs) under vertical load in order to study the effect of queti inclination on the load effects. ...

Abstract: In order to evaluate the quantitative cavitation-erosion resistance of materials, a pressure-detector-installed specimen was developed, which can measure both the impact load produced by cavitation ...

Abstract: On the basis of the successful results of our previous study on a J-integral approach to the creep crack propagation of steels, the applicability of the creep J-integral to the time dependent ...

Abstract: Crack propagation tests in creep were carried out on 0.16 percent carbon steel at 400 and 500°C in air and at 400°C in vacuum, on Type 316 stainless steel at 600 and 650°C ...

Abstract: The effects of multiple modes on Rayleigh wave dispersion are discussed to reduce the ambiguity of uniqueness of shear wave velocity
