The additional pile response due to the creep behavior of the soil is disadvantageous to the safety of pile. However, in the current studies for considering the creep behavior of the soft soil, the pile response induced by the long-term settlement of soil is seldom investigated. This paper mainly discusses the pile response during the excavation and operation periods considering the creep behav…

Low temperature property of asphalt mixture has been one of the worldwide focuses in pavement research. This paper focuses on property of stone matrix asphalt (SMA), mastic asphalt (MA) with that of epoxy asphalt mixture, which are currently widely used in steel bridge deck pavement. During calculation, a three-parameter solid model is employed with its corresponding parameters obtained by nonl…
It is widely acknowledged that there is an increasing problem in maintenance of the American civil infrastructure. Highways, bridges, sewers, railroads, harbors, and public biuldings built in the 1950s and 1960s are wearing out, while inflation-adjusted federal spending on infrastructure has fallen.
