A new type of spherical node was used to design a laboratory-scale prototype of a six-leg lattice of steel tubes and concrete for application as a wind turbine tower. Repeated load tests were performed on the prototype tower for several weeks to evaluate...

Temperature is the main driver of bridge response. It is continuously applied and may have complex distributions across the bridge. Daily temperature loads force bridges to undergo deformations that are larger than or equal to peak-to-peak traffic loads....

In modern and future communication systems, we expect peaks of traffic that largely exceed the capacity of the system, since they are originally designed to support normal traffic loads. Such peaks can be caused by emergency events and cultural or sporti...

Many Mississippi River Delta studies have shown recent declines in fluvial sediment load from the river and associated land loss. In contrast, recent sedimentary processes on the subaqueous delta are less documented. To help address this knowledge gap, m...

In this investigation, the effects of different fabrics with 0.20% carbon fiber textile (CFT), 0.21% glass fiber textile (GFT), and 0.25% basalt fiber textile (BFT) on the properties of TR-UHPC were investigated by axial tensile tests. A bending test of ...

Building a new tunnel adjacent to an existing tunnel has become a common means of transformation in engineering. Existing tunnels are prone to some deterioration, such as cavities and cracks under long-term traffic load. This kind of deterioration tunnel...
