Xiong, L. (author), Xiong, W. (author), Zhang, H. (author)Gulou is a type of building found in ethnic Dong peoples settlements in south west China. It plays a significant role in the traditional Dong architecture and shows both social and technical values. In the near future the technique as an intangible culture heritage would face the risk of extinction because of globalization. The paper argues...conference paper 2013

Danka, J. (author), Zhang, L. (author)Dike breaching parameters are important to support dike flood risk management, and can be estimated rapidly using empirical models. Due to the lack of dike specific models, sometimes models for man-made dams were used without validation. This paper compares relevant factors of dike, man-made dam and landslide dam breaches. With the aid of two...conference paper 2015

Zhang, M.Q. (author), Rong, M.Z. (author)Autonomic self-healing thermosetting polymers or elastomers have been substantially studied, in which polymerization of the healing agents released from pre-embedded capsules serves as the key issue. As for thermoplastics, another major class of polymeric materials, however, researches on their self-healing approaches are less reported. Here in...conference paper 2013

Zhang, J. (author), Guo, Y. (author)The purpose of this paper is to investigate the highly complex interaction between turbulent flow and deep-sea marina structure using a commercial CFD code (FLUENT 6.2) with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach. A series of three-dimensional LES of wake flows past overlapping cylinder of finite height are carried out with a range of Reynolds...conference paper 2006

Miorini, R. (author), Zhang, C. (author), Katz, J. (author)Rough-wall turbulent channel flow is investigated via time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry (TPIV). To facilitate 3D measurements in the bulk flow as well as very close to the rough surface the optical refractive index of the transparent acrylic channel wall is matched with that of the liquid, a concentrated solution of sodium...conference paper 2013

Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Zhang, S. (author), Fang, H. (author), Bruck, E. (author), Van Dijk, N.H. (author)We report the main findings of our work on the behaviour of binary Fe-Cu and Fe-Au model alloys designed to explore routes to create new creep resistant steels having an in-built ability to autonomously fill creep induced porosity at grain boundaries. The alloying elements were selected on the basis of their ability to be brought in...conference paper 2016

Wang, Yi (author), Zhang, Mingzhong (author)Strain hardening geopolymer composites (SHGC) as a tailored group of fibre reinforced geopolymer composites are featured by large tensile strain capacity with multiple micro-cracks. This paper experimentally investigates the strain hardening behaviour of SHGC in terms of flexural stress-deflection response, failure mode and cracking, flexural...conference paper 2021

Zhai, Shengtian (author), Zhang, Yunsheng (author)Graphene cement-based composites have become a hot topic in current research because of its superior comprehensive performance. In this work, incorporation of different content of graphene in cement-based materials can significantly improve its compressive and flexural strength. Meanwhile hydration heat with different graphene content and times...conference paper 2021

Zhang, Y. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author)When information or control in a multiagent system is private to the agents, they may misreport this information or refuse to execute an agreed outcome, in order to change the resulting end state of such a system to their benefit. In some domains this may result in an execution failure. We show that in such settings VCG mechanisms lose...conference paper 2009

Zhang, Jingxiao (author), Ma, Yuwei (author), Zheng, Jiazheng (author)The widespread application of alkali-activated fly ash/slag (AAFS) concrete requires satisfaction of a series of performance criteria both from its early age properties (e.g. workability, strength) and long-term stability. In this study, long-term (till 180 days) natural chloride diffusion tests were conducted to evaluate the chloride diffusion...conference paper 2021

Synthesized from industrial by-products, AAS can show high strength, thermal resistance and good durability. However, AAS has been reported to exhibit high autogenous shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage is a critical issue for building...conference paper 2021

Guo, Y. (author), Zhang, L. (author), Zhang, J. (author)This paper reports the results from a turbulent numerical modelling study on the free overfall in a rectangular channel. A wide range of model parameters (i.e. discrete square bar bed roughness, channel slope, and incoming upstream Froude number) is investigated. The water surface profiles, velocity fields and end-depth are simulated and...conference paper 2006
