Wang, H. (author), Wang, L. Z. (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Hong, Y. (author), He, B. (author)Piles have been widely used as foundations to resist lateral loads. For the design of a laterally loaded pile, one of the most important inputs is the ultimate soil resistance (p<sub>ult</sub> = K<sub>ult</sub>Dσv<sup>′,whereK</sup>ult is the ultimate lateral soil resistance coefficient, D is the pile diameter, and σv<sup>′</sup> is the...journal article 2023

El Jouhri, A. (author), El Sharkawy, A. (author), Paksoy, H. (author), Youssif, O.K.S.A. (author), He, X. (author), Kim, S. (author), Happee, R. (author)Introduction: SAE Level 3 is known as conditional driving automation. As long as certain conditions are met, there is no need to supervise the technology and the driver can engage in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs). However, a human driver must be present and alert to take over when the automation is facing its system limits. When such an...journal article 2023

He, S. (author), Liang, M. (author), Yang, En-hua (author), Schlangen, E. (author)The properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between microfiber and cement-based matrix are of primary significance for the overall behavior of strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCCs). However, due to the relatively small diameter of polymeric microfibers (e.g., PVA fiber), it is technically difficult to obtain...book chapter 2023

He, P. (author), Katan, A.J. (author), Tubiana, Luca (author), Dekker, C. (author), Michieletto, Davide (author)Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is a two-dimensional Olympic-ring-like network of mutually linked DNA minicircles found in certain parasites called trypanosomes. Understanding the self-assembly and replication of this structure are not only major open questions in biology but can also inform the design of synthetic topological materials. Here, we...journal article 2023

(author)Wave height attenuation in vegetation canopies is often all attributed to the drag force exerted by vegetation, whereas other potential dissipation process is often neglected. Previous studies without vegetation have found that opposing currents can induce wave breaking and greatly increase dissipation. It is not clear if similar process may...journal article 2022

He, S. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Strain hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) is a special class of ultra-ductile material which has autogenous self-healing capability due to its intrinsic tight crack widths. To further improve its healing ability, healing agent (HA) can be incorporated in SHCC, enabling it also the autonomous self-healing mechanism. In this study, the...journal article 2022

Zhu, C. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Lin, J. (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The mechanisms controlling the formation of an estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in estuaries have been extensively investigated, but one aspect that has received much less scientific attention is the role of high suspended sediment concentrations in combination with tidal asymmetry in ETM formation. Particularly in highly turbid estuaries,...journal article 2022
