At present, the selection criteria and configuration methods for fireproof clapboards in cable tunnels are not yet perfect, making it difficult to achieve effective fire protection. Therefore, an equivalent fire condition testing method is proposed t...
Storage tanks with partition plates are widely used in the petrochemical industry. However, relevant standards do not propose corresponding design criteria and methods for this type of structure, and theoretical design formulas cannot be applied to e...
A fixed dual cylindrical oscillating water column (OWC) acting as a breakwater-type wave energy converter (WEC) is proposed to harvest the wave energy effectively for shallow offshore sites. An analytical model is developed to investigate the hydrody...
The paving layer on the steel box girder bridge deck is widely used when constructing pavements for steel bridges. Owing to the orthotropic feature of steel decks, a transverse clapboard and rib can lead to a concentration of stress. Consequently, fa...
Early-age cracking limits the structural use of steel fiber-reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete (SFLWAC), and robust experimental evaluation methods are still needed. This study examines the influence of steel fiber volume fractions (i.e., 0%,...
