Abstract
Based on the number of snow cover days (NSCDs) and homogenized surface air temperature data for the period 1951–2004, this study performs the quantitative analysis on the sensitivity of NSCDs to surface air temperature over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Results show that both [...]Abstract
A recent series of CPTU soundings in sensitive clay at the Louiseville Quebec test site has been published, allowing for the application of two closed-form analytical solutions based on: (1) effective stress limit plasticity and (2) hybrid cavity expansion-critical state methods. [...]Abstract
The lack of standardization in vibration mode results has constituted the main shortcoming of operational modal analysis, subsequently resolved by means of the mass modification method. This is a major drawback for civil works, as it interrupts traffic on site, significantly increasing [...]
