Seepage of water from beneath of built structures on permeable soils causes uplift force along the contact of structure with foundation.This uplift force reduces hydraulic structure stability.Typically, these instabilities occur due to under-pressure development (uplift force), gradual inner degradation of foundation material (piping) or sand boil
To study the degradation patterns of shear resistance of stud connectors under corrosion conditions, an ABAQUS finite element model was established for numerical simulation.Four different corrosion distribution patterns, namely, uniform annulus, compressive zone semi-annulus, tensile zone semi-annulus, and tensile-compressive zone semi-annulus, wer
In vivo rodent behavioral and physiological studies often benefit from measurement of general activity.However, many existing instruments necessary to track such activity are high in cost and invasive within home cages, some even requiring extensive separate cage systems, limiting their widespread use to collect data.We present here a low-cost open
