Applying a Multisector Scenario Framework to Evaluate Past and Future Public Surface Water Supply Infrastructure Strategies in Texas

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Facilitating decisions over future infrastructure transitions benefits from understanding past strategies to inform future scenario development. Here, we apply a scenario‐based indicator framework to generate plausible, spatially explicit future Public Water Supply Infrastructure (PWSI) alternatives.

Flexural Performance of Cross-Laminated Bamboo (CLB) Slabs and CFRP Grid Composite CLB Slabs

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019
In order to accord well with the requirements of sustainable development and green construction, a cross-laminated bamboo composed of an odd number of orthogonally oriented layers of bamboo scrimber is proposed in this paper.

Progressive Collapse Resisting Mechanisms of Planar Prestressed Concrete Frame [PDF]

, 2019
The paper presents the behavior of six tests of Planar Prestressed Concrete Frame under the loss of a middle column. The six tests consist of two non-prestressed reinforced concrete (RC) specimens and four prestressed concrete (PC) specimens with bonded ...

Shear Strengths of Different Bolt Connectors on the Large Span of Aluminium Alloy Honeycomb Sandwich Structure

Applied Sciences, 2017
This study investigates the shear capacity of aluminum alloy honeycomb sandwich plates connected by high-strength, ordinary, or self-tapping bolts. For that purpose, experimental tests and finite elements are carried out.

Simulation of Strata Failure and Settlement in the Mining Process Using Numerical and Physical Methods

Applied Sciences
Coal mining can cause the rupture of the overlying strata, and the energy released by large-scale fractures can therefore induce earthquake disasters, which in turn can cause more secondary disasters.

Influence of apparent wave velocity on seismic performance of a super-long-span triple-tower suspension bridge

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015
As one of the main characteristics of seismic waves, apparent wave velocity has great influence on seismic responses of long-span suspension bridges. Understanding these influences is important for seismic design.

Optimum design of composite prestressed concrete girder railway bridges [PDF]

, 2012
This paper deals with the formulation of design optimisation of pretsressed concrete bridges. The bridge is of a slab-on-girder type, hence modeled as an equivalent orthotropic plate.
