Testing the shearing creep of composite geomembranes-cushion interface and its empirical model
An accurate description of composite geomembranes (CGs)–cushion interface behaviour (particularly creep behaviour) is of great importance. This paper presents a creep experiment method for studying the shearing creep characteristics of CGs–cushion ...

The Effects of Aerodynamic Interference on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Twin-Box Girder
To investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a twin-box girder in turbulent incoming flow, we carried out wind tunnel tests, including two aerodynamic interferences: leading body-height grid, and leading circular cylinder.
