Abstract: Surface settlement caused by shallow shield tunneling can occur frequently. Machine variables such as face pressure, tail-void grouting pressure, and grout volume play an essential role in the settlement control of earth ...

Abstract: In order to analyze the pressure bearing capacity (PBC) and failure mode of plastic–steel–plastic (PSP) composite pipe more accurately, a finite element analysis model for a short-term burst of PSP composite pipe considering ...

Abstract: The alternative fuels, such as biomass, municipal wastes, and underground coal gasification gas, become attractive to the power plants as renewable energy sources or economical fuels. However, ...

Abstract: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) has recently expanded the supercritical heat transfer (SCHT) databank with additional data provided by the Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC). These additional data cover flow ...

Abstract: Water inrush events in tunnels are geological hazards that pose a special engineering problem for tunnel construction in water-rich areas. To clarify the engineering background and hydrogeological conditions of water inrush ...
