Neutrosophic Function for Assessing the Scale Effect of the Rock Joint Surface Roughness
A new investigation method is proposed for recording large-sized joint profiles and making statistical analyses of the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) values of the 10–300 cm sized profiles. )e mechanical hand profilograph is used for joint roughness measurement due to its advantage of easy operation and high accuracy in recording joint traces. Based on the proposed method, it provides sufficient samples from various positions on the large joint profile, which allows the statistical evaluation of JRC values. A neutrosophic number (NN) is employed for revealing determinate and/or indeterminate information as it consists of determinate and indeterminate parts. Due to the uncertainty of JRC in the real world, NN is chosen to represent the JRC value, which is not only random but also a fuzzy indefinite parameter. The neutrosophic function is used to analyze and express the scale effect of joint surface roughness, and its derivative is used to describe the changing trend of the scale effect.
Blast Protection of Civil Infrastructures and Vehicles Using Composites
With the upsurge in terrorism in recent years and the possibility of accidental blast threats, there is growing interest in manufacturing blast 'hardened' structures and retrofitting blast mitigation materials to existing structures. Composites provide the ideal material for blast protection as they can be engineered to give different levels of protection by varying the reinforcements and matrices.Part one discusses general technical issues with chapters on topics such as blast threats and types of blast damage, processing polymer matrix composites for blast protection, standards and specifications for composite blast protection materials, high energy absorbing composite materials for blast ...

An Over-height Collision Protection System of Sandwich Polymer Composites Integrated with Remote Monitoring for Concrete Bridge Girders
One of the common damages in existing highway bridges is the damage at the bottom corners or edges of the reinforced concrete beams or box girders induced by an impact of trucks exceeding the allowable height clearance of the bridges. In this study, a collision protection and scarifying system is developed, and it utilizes advanced materials/structures to protect highway bridge girders. The proposed collision protection and scarifying system is in a new "I-Lam" (Impact Laminate) configuration and bolted and/or bonded to the bottom portions or edges of concrete girders. The I-Lam panels are made of a composite sandwich construction with multi-layer aluminum honeycomb core and top and bottom t...
