Development of an implicit material point method for geotechnical applications
Abstract An implicit material point method (MPM), a variant of the finite element method (FEM), is presented in this paper. The key feature of MPM is that the spatial discretisation uses a set of material points, which are allowed to move freely...

Impact of train speed on the mechanical behaviours of track-bed materials
Abstract For the 30,000 km long French conventional railway lines (94% of the whole network), the train speed is currently limited to 220 km/h, whilst the speed is 320 km/h for the 1800 km long high-speed lines. Nowadays, there is a growing need to...

Influence of combined carbonation and chloride ingress regimes on rate of ingress and redistribution of chlorides in concretes
Abstract In majority of exposure environments for concrete structures, there is a high probability of the cyclic occurence of both chloride ingress and carbonation. This paper reports a detailed investigation on the influence of carbonation on both...

Re-visiting crash–speed relationships: A new perspective in crash modelling
Abstract Although speed is considered to be one of the main crash contributory factors, research findings are inconsistent. Independent of the robustness of their statistical approaches, crash frequency models typically employ crash data that are...
