A tunnel is an underground horizontal passage that is constructed to provide services such as transportation, storage places, water, wastewater lines, and the like. Since [...]

Combining lumped-parameter model and time-domain difference recursive filter model, a time-domain difference approach of interaction force is proposed. The system stabili [...]

Cast-in-place anchors are used to connect steel members (i.e., girders and columns) with concrete (i.e., walls and foundations). The behavior of anchor connections direct [...]
