ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractLarge-amplitude cable vibrations are remarkably common on cable-stayed bridges due to various aerodynamic loading mechanisms and/or motion of the cable ends. Geometric nonlinearity can be important in the dynamic behavior,…
AbstractThe use of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) structures instead of pile foundation in bridge abutment walls leads to reduction in costs and bridge bump. This study evaluates the effect of geocell…
AbstractA computationally efficient semianalytical framework for obtaining the consolidation settlement of flexible foundations such as beams and strip footings resting on nonlinear, saturated, poroelastic, and multilayered continua (soil) is developed.…
AbstractThe creep camber of box girders significantly lowers track regularity, making it very important to perform track geometry precise adjustment or ballast tamping operations by maintenance machinery on box girder…
AbstractCracking is one of the most common distresses in asphalt pavement. Because asphalt concrete is relatively weak in tension, synthetic fibers have shown to increase its tensile strength and, therefore,…
AbstractThis study explored mineral catalysts for H2O2 quenching after UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation as an alternative to granular activated carbon or chlorine (two of the most common methods). The following mineral…
AbstractA shear strength model is proposed for reinforced concrete bridge columns with multispiral transverse reinforcement. The proposed model consists of a proposed discrete computational shear strength model for multispiral reinforcement…
AbstractGas hydrate-bearing sediments (GHBS) are vastly distributed worldwide. Although dissociation of GHBS by depressurization is considered a viable method to produce gas to meet increasing energy demand, it can alter…
AbstractThe high viscosity and poor storage stability of crumb rubber–modified asphalt (CRMA) can be partially addressed by the appropriate degree of degradation of the crumb rubber modifier. However, the low-temperature…
AbstractSoil-rubber mixtures are potential construction materials for use in civil engineering applications such as the thermal insulation layer for buried pipelines in the permafrost zone and underground energy storage systems.…
