Mechanical Behavior of the Reinforced Retaining Wall Subjected to Static Load by Yong Liu, Zhanyong Yao, Hongzhe Liu, Mingxia Shao, Yulong Zhao

“…The gravel with good gradation has better durability and can reduce the amount of reinforcing steel; with the decrease of the reinforcement spacing, the deformation of the wall panel will become smaller, and the reinforcement effect will be improved; the length of reinforcement is not the longer the better, and the deformation of wall panel can be minimized at the suitable length; the larger the elastic modulus of the wall panel, the smaller the deformation of the wall panel will be.…”

On the Inertia Term of Projectile's Penetration Resistance by Yu Shan, Haijun Wu, Fenglei Huang, Jinzhu Li

“…For the ogive-nose projectile with CRH of 3, when the target is aluminum, steel, or other metals, the threshold velocity for the constant resistance is at least 1258 m/s; when the target is concrete, rock, or other brittle materials, if the velocity of the projectile is greater than 400 m/s or so, the damage number would be very large, and the penetration resistance would clearly depend on the projectile’s velocity. …”
