Abstract: Offshore pipelines used for transporting hydrocarbons are cyclically loaded by great variations of pressure and temperature. These variations can induce axial instability in such pipelines. This instability may cause the ...

Abstract: Frost heave of foundation materials causes severe joint deterioration in concrete pavements. Sufficient freezing depth, continuous water supply, and frost susceptible geomaterials are the three necessary factors leading ...

Abstract: Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and frost penetration depth in cold regions can be key contributors to pavement damage, and it is important as part of design practice to account for detrimental freeze-thaw conditions in the ...
