Geopolymer concrete (GC), also known as green concrete, contains slag, silica fume, and fly ash as binders. The absence of cement in concrete is critical to protect the world from the environmental impacts of cement production. In addition, exposure to h...

In arid climates, evaporation and water loss in surface soil can lead to the development of shrinkage cracks in the soil. The crack network in contaminated soil sites can become a rapid pathway for the infiltration and transport of contaminations, thereb...

This paper explores the roles of empiricism and determinism in science and concludes that the intellectual exercise that we call ?science? is best described as the transition from empiricism (i.e., observation) to determinism, which is the philosophy tha...

The radiolysis of water is a significant cause of corrosion damage in the primary heat transport systems (PHTSs) of water-cooled, fission nuclear power reactors (BWRs, PWRs, and CANDUs) and is projected to be a significant factor in the evolution of corr...

This research presents the numerical evaluation of fatigue crack growth of structural steels S355 and S960 based on Paris? law parameters (C and m) that are experimentally determined with a single edge notched tension (SENT) specimen using optical and cr...

Applying the machine learning (ML) technique in the modelling of crack growth (CG) behavior is a potential way to improve the efficiency and precision of CG assessment. However, research in this field at elevated temperatures is limited, although a lot o...

The crack closure phenomenon significantly influences low cycle fatigue (LCF) crack growth. The crack closure theory deems that a crack can grow only when the applied load is greater than the fatigue crack opening and closing loads. The revised crack clo...

Low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels have a rather low susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a boiling water reactor (BWR) environment if the high-temperature water contains no anionic impurities. Recent investigations revealed that un...

In order to determine the average behavior time of widespread fatigue damage (WFD) in an aircraft multi-site damage (MSD) structure and complete the fatigue analysis of WFD sensitive parts, this paper adopts a probabilistic method to analyze the crack in...

To study the effect of the local corrosion of prestressed steel strands on the shear failure mode and shear bearing capacity of concrete beams, unilateral steel strands in four post-tensioning prestressed concrete (PC) beams are corroded, and the shear t...
