Abstract: We present an analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer through a single horizontal channel with permeable walls which are at different temperatures. The problem is set in the context of hot ...

Abstract: Using a suitable shield auxiliary construction method (SACM) is crucial when encountering adverse geological conditions in tunneling. However, its current selection often relies on the experience of the project team and ...

Abstract: Due to good corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, glass fiber–reinforced plastic (GFRP) bolts are widely used in mining operations. However, GFRP bolts are susceptible to blast load damage, so it is important to ...

Abstract: Earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling in coastal silty clay strata often faces the problems of clogging on the screw conveyor or the belt conveyor due to lumps of clay soils formed because of the large cohesion of ...

Abstract: Excavation damage induced by the drill-and-blast method (DBM) of the surrounding rock zone in tunneling intensifies the loss of groundwater and causes serious hydroecological imbalance. Traditional theoretical analysis ...

Abstract: This paper describes an application for microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) on the cementation of shale soils for ground reinforcement in cold regions. The micro and macrostructures of the cemented body were ...
