Data Analysis of the Effect of Different Nanomaterials on Antislide Pile Performance in Railway Landslides by Kai Guo, Mingxin Zheng, Yongjiang Ren

“…Many high-rise buildings, bridges, and launch towers are inevitably built on high and steep slopes. Heavy rain, earthquake, human engineering activities, and other factors lead to frequent landslides, soil creep deformation, and overall sliding, resulting in a certain bending moment and flexural deformation of foundation piles, may cause damage to the substructure and foundation pile failure, and then endanger the safety of the superstructure. …”

Fatigue Life Assessment of Orthotropic Steel Deck with UHPC Pavement by Xu Jiang, Yuan Yuan, Chong Wu, Chengwei Luo

“…Furthermore, the fatigue damage accumulation at fatigue details under the UHPC and conventional asphalt concrete pavement is studied based on Miner’s linear cumulative damage rule and the rain-flow method. The results indicate that the UHPC pavement on the orthotropic steel deck can extend the service lives of the concerned regions over 100 years, but the fatigue lives will reduce significantly when the elastic modulus of UHPC decreases to 50% of the original value.…”
