Abstract: Weak interlayers determine the strength and stability of a jointed rock mass. The influence of weak interlayer filling state on the shear strength and failure patterns of a rock mass was studied by direct shear testing. ...

Abstract: Three years of daily reference evapotranspiration measured by atmometers

Abstract: The technique for extracting bridge frequencies from a moving vehicle was proposed only recently. However, its efficacy may be reduced by road-surface roughness. To this end, the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) ...

Abstract: This study mainly focuses on the transport process of broken rocks in geological fractures, faults, and karst conduits. Because previous research mainly focused on the influencing factors of adverse geological conditions, ...

Abstract: For both environmental and financial reasons, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) needs to be maximized. In this study, rejuvenators and soft asphalt cements were used as recycling agents. Aged binders recovered ...

Abstract: Risk-based corrective action (RBCA) has been becoming an accepted approach for the remediation of contaminated sites. This paper described the application of four different risk assessment approaches, including the North ...

Abstract: This study investigates the acoustic emission (AE) and physicomechanical properties of concrete under three sulfate attack conditions: continuous immersion, wetting–drying cycles, and cyclic loading coupled with wetting–drying ...

Abstract: Stratum cavity collapse induced by water and sand leakage in a subway tunnel is a sudden urban geological disaster, which can cause serious casualties and economic losses. In response to the hazards of stratum cavity ...

Abstract: Congo red (CR), a harmful pollutant, is increasingly contaminating aquatic environments. The removal of CR from wastewater is important. This study developed a novel graphene–biochar composite (GR-BC) to enhance CR treatment. ...
