Abstract: In the Loess Plateau of China, mosaic-vegetation restoration by converting cropland into fallow (to regenerate natural vegetations) and perennials performs well in soil erosion control. However, soil desiccation caused by ...

Abstract: This study investigated structural safety evaluation of in-service tunnels. Considering the factors that affect the safety of in-service tunnels, the indices and grading standards for structural safety evaluations of ...

Abstract: Preload, which is widely applied in linear motion ball guide (LMBG) to eliminate clearance and increase stiffness, gradually decreases owing to wear, resulting in the degradation of the load-bearing capability and dynamic ...

Abstract: A field trial evaluated the potential of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) through urea hydrolysis for ground stabilization. A bioaugmentation approach was employed in which locally enriched bacteria were ...
