Intelligent recognition of defects in high‐speed railway slab track with limited dataset
Abstract During the regular service life of high‐speed railway (HSR), there might be serious defects in the concrete slabs of the infrastructure systems, which may further significantly affect public transportation safety. To address these serious issues and fulfill the regular functions of HSR, the traditional methods for railway engineers involve ...

Dynamic factor (DF) is an important indicator for describing the dynamic action of a train on a bridge. For small‐ and medium‐span bridges, although existing research and codes have studied and specified the DF of steel–concrete composite beam bridges, few studies have been refined to steel‐plate–concrete composite beam bridges (SPCCBs), and the effect

With the large‐scale maintenance and renovation of asphalt pavement, a considerable amount of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) will be generated. Stacking these wastes occupies a large amount of land and seriously damages the ecological environment. Hence, efficient regeneration of RAP through recycling technology has gained more and more attention. In
