Abstract: This paper develops a novel empirical strength criterion and proposes a manifold method for fracture initiation and propagation. First, to investigate the influencing factors of fractured rock mass strength, a set of ...

Abstract: Wind environment monitoring is of vital importance for structural health monitoring (SHM). However, wind velocity records in SHM systems sometimes suffer from data loss owing to monitoring equipment faults, transmission ...

Abstract: To investigate its fatigue damage characteristics, natural gypsum rock was tested under multiple cyclic loading conditions. According to the fatigue test, a nonlinear viscoelastoplastic fatigue model was established by ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel strategy based on field measurement, wind tunnel tests, and artificial neural network (ANN) for reconstructing the wind pressures on cladding of high-rise buildings and applies it to reconstruct ...
