Abstract: When thin-walled box beams meet at an angled joint, the joint region exhibits significant flexibilities that cannot be modeled by the Timoshenko or Euler beam theory especially at a joint of multiple box beams. Conventionally, ...

Abstract: Direct use of naturally occurring microbes for soil improvement has recently gained attention due to their ubiquitous and versatile characteristics in subsurface soil. Microbes produce soft and sticky extracellular polymeric ...

Abstract: This study explores the mechanical behavior of glass bead pairs cemented by microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) when subjected to tensile or shear loading. The mineral precipitation habit and contact area are ...
