So far, the loading path effect on the compressive strength of confined concrete has been poorly investigated.
Using the calibrated FE model, stochastic seismic analysis of the CFST arch bridge is conducted in a comprehensive and systematic way, by considering the dimensionality, incoherence effect, wave-path effect of ground motions, and local site effects with different and irregular site conditions.
Interestingly, the propagation directions of these wave packets differed between the divergence and rotation wavefields, suggesting either an individual scattering effect or a multi-path effect of Rayleigh and Love waves.
The path effect consists of geometrical spreading 1/r, scattering attenuation (F_{text{scat}} left( {r,f,xi left( {mathbf{x}} right)} right)), and the Q −1 effect.
The improvement could also be done by considering the multi-path effects of Rayleigh waves (e.g., Forsyth and Li 2005) and the extraction of Rayleigh wave component based on polarization analysis (e.g., Vidale 1986).
Thus, the conception of path effect degree is defined according to the degree of one path affecting traffic volumes on other paths, and the conception of efficient path set is proposed considering the traffic demand.
This feature is believed to be the result of path average effect of non-uniform distribution of the electron density along the GSP ray during the occultation.
It was found that for any stress path the effect of the supporting stress on ε1 was more significant for 10 mm borehole sizes.
On the basis of phonon mean free path, the effect of oxygen groups in GO is discussed in relation to crystallinity of PVA and molecular interaction between GO and PVA.
For each loading path, the effect of the anisotropic damage evolution on the plastic anisotropy and vice-versa is carefully studied in the context of finite plasticity assuming small elastic strains.
