AbstractCollapse is one of the most dangerous aspects of drilling–blasting construction in highway tunnels. To accurately control tunnel-collapse risk, a multistate dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) evaluation method for highway tunnel…
AbstractThe Mariner field is a newly completed oil field in the UK continental shelf with an estimated reserve of 396 million cubic meters (2.5 billion barrels) of oil. Despite the energy…
AbstractPile-supported wharf structures exposed to seismic hazards may suffer severe damage. As such, an effective approach for enhancing the seismic performance of these structures is vital. This study introduces a…
AbstractThe origin and destination (O-D) of public transit passengers are important for the planning and operation of the transit system. However, only 46% of public transit agencies have a smart…
AbstractThis work introduces a pilot-scale experiment conducted for 18 months to study the soil heating performance of solar collectors in Japan for borehole thermal energy storage and thermal consolidation applications. In…
AbstractThe formation of district metered areas (DMAs) is an efficient strategy for the operation and management of water distribution networks (WDNs). Identifying the most suitable DMA layout is a challenging…
AbstractA multiscale crack iteration and remeshing model was proposed and implemented to predict the low-cycle crack propagation behavior for steel. Crack propagation behavior was quantified by fatigue indicator parameters (FIPs)…
AbstractThe results of an experimental program comparing the responses of shear-critical rectangular columns tested under monotonic and reversed-cyclic loading are presented. These specimens had a constant compressive axial load and…
AbstractUltraviolet (UV) radiation and thermal oxidation are two leading causes of the aging of asphalt pavements. However, there is a lack of a suitable analytical model to consider both when…
AbstractThis study aims to investigate the properties of novel waterborne epoxy modified asphalt emulsion with styrene–butadiene–chloroprene rubber (SBR/CR) and evaluate its performance improvement mechanism. To achieve this objective, Brookfield rotational…
