Abstract: This study is aimed at analyzing how governance structure and mechanisms can support the cooperative principal–principal relationship between the public and private sectors in infrastructure public–private partnership (PPP) ...

Abstract: Given a part design, the task of manufacturing process classification identifies an appropriate manufacturing process to fabricate it. Our previous research proposed a large dataset for manufacturing process classification ...

Abstract: Existing devices to assist upper extremity (UE) movement in infants with or at risk for motor impairments remain limited and are mainly passive devices. The aim of this project was to develop and assess the validity and ...

Abstract: The current AISC specification (AISC 360-22) does not permit using high-strength materials in steel plate-concrete composite (SC) walls due to limited research. This paper uses three steps to address this. In the first ...

Abstract: The spatial variability of soil properties is pervasive, and can affect the propagation of seismic waves and the dynamic responses of soil–structure interaction (SSI) systems. This uncertainty is likely to increase the ...

Abstract: The widely used Terzaghi theory for deformation or consolidation in porous materials is based on the effective stress, a rather fictitious quantity, carried by the soil skeleton through the particle contact area, which is ...

Abstract: AISC 36-16 (the current AISC Specification) does not endorse the use of high-strength materials (Fy≥525  MPa and fc′≥7  MPa) for concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns because of a lack of adequate research and comprehensive ...

Abstract: Shear failure is catastrophic and occurs usually without advance warning; thus it is desirable that the beam fails in flexure rather than in shear. Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) members are found to be deficient ...
