  • Advancements in predicting soil liquefaction susceptibility: a comprehensive analysis of ensemble and deep learning approaches

    Advancements in predicting soil liquefaction susceptibility: a comprehensive analysis of ensemble and deep learning approaches

    Semiempirical procedure

    A semiempirical field-based procedure is used in this analysis to analyze the liquefied and non-liquefied case histories. The advantage of this approach is that it uses theoretical ideas and experimental results to…

  • Effects of three different types of fibers and dosage on the properties of alkali-activated copper slag–slag cementitious materials

    Effects of three different types of fibers and dosage on the properties of alkali-activated copper slag–slag cementitious materials

    Fluidity

    The flow characteristics of the alkali-activated copper slag–slag composite cementitious material are illustrated in Fig. 6. In the absence of fiber, the matrix of the alkali-activated copper slag–slag composite cementitious material…

    A parametric study of bubble dynamics and lesion formation in liver tissue phantom during pressure-modulated shockwave histotripsy

    PSH using a 2 MHz HIFU transducer

    With the 2 MHz HIFU transducer, tm was set as follows: (i) 4 ms, (ii) 5 ms, (iii) 6 ms, (iv) 7 ms, (v) 8 ms and (vi) 9 ms for the PSH condition (see Table 1). Each PSH pulse had a total duration (ttotal) of 10…
