Abstract: A new three-dimensional trans-scale crack growth model, developed from the microscale to macroscale, is presented based on the concept of restraining stress zone. It aims to simulate the growth behaviors of fatigue cracks ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of bridges induced by vehicles moving on poor road surfaces usually exceed those that are anticipated on highway bridges, thus the tuned mass damper (TMD) was studied to suppress dynamic responses of ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study proposes a path optimization algorithm specifically designed for high-pier bridges in mountainous areas. By integrating drone oblique photogrammetry with an improved dung beetle optimization algorithm, ...

Abstract: Abstract Freeze–thaw durability is a critical concern in concrete applications, particularly in harsh environmental conditions. To address this issue and promote the recycling of waste resources simultaneously, various ...
