RISMoisture Diffusion in Shallow Clay Masses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seasonal cycles of moisture and suction variation in shallow clay masses create repeating episodes of soil shrinkage and swelling that can adversely affect a wide variety of structures including pavements, shallow foundations, ...
Analysis of Dynamic Behavior for Slab Track of High-Speed Railway Based on Vehicle and Track Elements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Slab tracks are used worldwide in high-speed railways. The slab may be cast in situ, resulting in a continuous length of concrete, or it may be constructed in discrete precast sections laid end to end. According to structural ...
Case Studies of Reinforced Piled High-Speed Railway Embankment over Soft Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil arching in the reinforced piled embankment is investigated in this paper on the basis of two case studies of high-speed railways constructed in the eastern coastal region of China. The majority of the overburden load ...
An Eccentric Ellipse Failure Criterion for Amorphous Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We proposed an eccentric ellipse criterion to describe the failure of amorphous materials under a combination of normal stress σ and shear stress τ. This criterion can reflect a tension–compression strength asymmetry, and ...

How Did Air Pollution Change during the COVID-19 Outbreak in China?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In early December 2019, an outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and spread fast throughout China. As of 15 June 2020, there have been about 84,000 confirmed cased ...
Dynamic Dispersion Coefficient of Solutes Flowing in a Circular Tube and a Tube-Bundle Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mathematical formulations have been proposed and verified to determine dynamic dispersion coefficients for solutes flowing in a circular tube with fully developed laminar flow under different source conditions. Both the ...
Evolution of Characteristics of Warm-Mix Rubber-Modified Asphalt during Water Damage under Different Immersion Times
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements were conducted in the present research to analyze the characteristics of warm-mix rubber-modified asphalt during ...
Critical Review of Stabilized Nanoparticle Transport in Porous Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Over the past few decades, due to the special features (i.e., easily produced, large-surface-area-to-volume ratio, and engineered particles with designed surface properties), nanoparticles have not only attracted great ...
Recent Engineering Applications in China on Coupling Boundary Elements With Finite Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This review article deals with some recent investigations in China in coupling boundary elements (BEs) with finite elements (FEs) during the last decade. Two types of combination schemes are ...
