Abstract: In this paper, we study the deformation and stability of a planar elastica. One end of the elastica is clamped and fixed in space. The other end of the elastica is also clamped, but the ...

Abstract: This study calculated and analyzed the critical load position and influencing factors of interlaminar shear stress, with focus on the characteristics of and existing studies on continuously reinforced concrete and asphalt ...

Abstract: To investigate hydraulic features of the flooding flow on a staircase with a rest platform, experiments were conducted on a 1:2-scale physical model of a staircase with a middle rest platform between two stair segments. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study of applying a new device termed deformation adjustor in piled raft foundations to support a high-rise building. The deformation adjustors are mounted on a pile head to optimize load ...

Abstract: The numerical simulations of wave interactions with armor blocks on rubble-mound breakwaters will enable a stronger understanding of breakwater failure and therefore increased malfunction prevention. This paper presents a ...
