Weak bonding between layers of pavement leads to damages on the composite pavement. Bonding plays an important role in the durability and maintenance of composite pavement layers. The present study evaluates the factors effective in bond strength of the interface between concrete and asphalt pavements. The factors considered for this purpose include steel slag percentage in the concrete pavemen...

the study of flow in compound channels with vegetated floodplains is essential to assessing the development of the stage-discharge relationship and sediment and pollutant transport. the present study experimentally investigated mean flow and turbulence characteristics in a prismatic compound channel. the experimental program consisted of vegetated and non-vegetated floodplains with different re...

We have studied the characteristics of MOSFET degradation induced by hotcarriers. When the characteristics of drain current degradation (A/j) are applied to the stress time(t) dependence AIj oc t, the exponent n is clearly different under different bias conditions. We present a two-type interface-state model composed of deep-energy interface states and shallow-energy interface states which have...

The mechanical behavior of the wood-bark interface shrub willow was tested to investigate influence key factors: harvest season, moisture content, and cultivars. properties enable design optimization performance debarking equipment for short-rotation woody stems can help improve understanding interface. Results show that low content samples have a significantly higher shear modulus, G (Mean =0....
