A Case-Based Study of Corrugated Boundaries in a Trilayered Structure and Their Influence on LT Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The study delves into an analytical examination of the constraints and propagation of Love-type transverse waves (LT waves) within a three-layered sandwich structure. To tailor the structure for sensor and actuator ... -
Efficacy of Dynamic Insulation in Mitigating Building Energy Demand across Canadian Climate Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract In modern low-energy buildings, extensive thermal insulation effectively reduces heating demand in cold seasons but can intensify overheating and increase cooling loads during warmer periods. This dual challenge ... -
Variation Characteristics and Influential Factors of Unfrozen Water Content across Different Types of Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Unfrozen water content significantly governs liquid water migration, frost heave, and thaw settlement in soils during freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs). However, the dynamic evolution of unfrozen water content across ... -
Strength Degradation Mechanisms of Structural Loess Subject to Dry–Wet and Freeze–Thaw Cycles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Structural loess is highly susceptible to structural deterioration and strength degradation under alternating dry–wet (DW) and freeze–thaw (FT) cycles, posing a significant threat to the long-term stability of ... -
Investigation of Salt-Releasing Behaviors of Salt-Storing Lignin Fiber and the Performance of Asphalt Mixture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract This study investigated a self-developed salt-storing lignin fiber as an anti-icing additive for asphalt pavements. The sustained- salt-release capability and road performance of this material were systematically ... -
Experimental Investigation and Strength Prediction Model for Unsaturated Concrete under the Coupled Action of Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Salt Erosion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract To study the changing law of compressive strength for concrete with different saturation degrees, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) solutions are used to erode concrete specimens. Concrete ... -
Subterranean Water Infrastructure Protection in an Abrupt Sunlight Reduction Scenario
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract An abrupt sunlight reduction scenario (ASRS) could result from a nuclear war, supervolcanic eruption, or asteroid/comet impact, reducing global temperatures for over a decade and leaving subterranean water pipes ... -
