An Analysis of Factors Affecting Flowslide Deposit Morphology Using Taguchi MethodAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2020 Số 1 - 2020
Zhao Duan, Yan-Bin Wu, Hao Tang, Jianquan Ma, Xinghua Zhu
Flowslides, as one type of landslides, are becoming a research hotspot due to their high speed and long runout distance, which can cause tremendous damage and economic loss. The scale of damage and deposit morphology of flowslide is closely related to factors like deposit volume, slope height, and slope angle. In order to assess the influence of these factors, a sandbox apparatus is develo...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact‐Induced Liquefaction Mechanism of Sandy Silt at Different SaturationsAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2021 Số 1 - 2021
Heng Li, Zhao Duan, Chenxi Dong, Zhao Fa-suo, Qiyao Wang
Landslide‐induced liquefaction has received extensive attention from scholars in recent years. In the study of loess landslides in the southern Loess Plateau of Jingyang, some scholars have noted the liquefaction of the near‐saturated sandy silt layer that is caused by the impact of loess landslides on the erodible terrace. The impact‐induced liquefaction triggered by landslides is probabl...... hiện toàn bộ
Developing Pavement Distress Deterioration Models for Pavement Management System Using Markovian Probabilistic ProcessAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2017 - Trang 1-9 - 2017
Promothes Saha, Khaled Ksaibati, Rebecca Atadero
In the state of Colorado, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) utilizes their pavement management system (PMS) to manage approximately 9,100 miles of interstate, highways, and low-volume roads. Three types of deterioration models are currently being used in the existing PMS: site-specific, family, and expert opinion curves. These curves are developed using deterministic techniq...... hiện toàn bộ
Constitutive Model and Damage Evolution of Mudstone under the Action of Dry‐Wet CyclesAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2018 Số 1 - 2018
Ming Hu, Yuanxue Liu, Linbo Song, Yu Zhang
Mudstone is a natural type of geological material, which has different ways of mechanical response between natural state and dry‐wet cycles. According to the complex damage theory of geological materials, rock masses can be considered as a composite material consisting of the structure phase and damage phase. The essence of the damage of rock masses is a damage evolution process, during wh...... hiện toàn bộ
Seismic Performance of Lightweight Concrete StructuresAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2018 Số 1 - 2018
V. Swamy Nadh, Muthumani Krishnamurthy
Concrete structures are prone to earthquake due to mass of the structures. The primary use of structural lightweight concrete (SLWC) is to reduce the dead load of a concrete structure, which allows the structural designer to reduce the size of the structural members like beam, column, and footings which results in reduction of earthquake forces on the structure. This paper attempts to pred...... hiện toàn bộ
Low‐Cost Solution for Assessment of Urban Flash Flood Impacts Using Sentinel‐2 Satellite Images and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process: A Case Study of Ras Ghareb City, EgyptAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2019 Số 1 - 2019
Mohammed Sadek, Xuxiang Li
Natural hazards are indeed counted as the most critical challenges facing our world, represented in floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and forest fires. Among these natural hazards, the flash flood is regarded the most frequent. In this work, we utilized two Sentinel‐2 satellite images, before and after the flash flood, SRTM and photos captured by using a helicopter. This paper ai...... hiện toàn bộ
Engagement of Facilities Management in Design Stage through BIM: Framework and a Case StudyAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2013 - Trang 1-8 - 2013
Wang Ying, Xiangyu Wang, Jun Wang, Ping Yung, Jun Guo
Considering facilities management (FM) at the early design stage could potentially reduce the efforts for maintenance during the operational phase of facilities. Few efforts in construction industry have involved facility managers into the design phase. It was suggested that early adoption of facilities management will contribute to reducing the needs for major repairs and alternations tha...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of Wheat Straw Ash on Fresh and Hardened Concrete Reinforced with Jute FiberAdvances in Civil Engineering - Tập 2021 Số 1 - 2021
Naraindas Bheel, Samiullah Sohu, Paul O. Awoyera, Ashok Kumar, Suhail Ahmed Abbasi, Oladimeji B. Olalusi
In the present era, a number of researchers are using either industrial or agricultural priceless products as a basic source of raw materials for the construction industry. These waste products are economical and helpful in producing a sustainable environment and reducing environmental pollution, which is called handling waste products. However, this research work was conducted on concrete...... hiện toàn bộ
