Abstract: Due to the heterogeneous distribution of microbial activities in a biofilter, biomass accumulation and clogging often occurs in the inlet sections, leading to a considerable increase in the total pressure drop and shortening ...

Abstract: The contraction behavior of monotonically expanded cavities is intriguing as it offers insights into certain geotechnical scenarios, especially for pressuremeter tests, where the unloading data is equally informative as ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the uplift behaviour of both pipes and strip plate anchors buried in sand. A total of 24 plane-strain uplift tests were performed using an image-based deformation measurement ...

Abstract: In this study, the tribological properties of the mixture of nano magnesium silicate hydroxide (MSH) and micro carbon sphere (CS) are studied, and a superior synergistic anti-wear performance is exhibited under 600 N and ...

Abstract: Multiple tower crane layout planning (MTCLP) refers to the selection of the types, quantities, and positions of tower cranes and material storage positions. In a construction project, choosing tower cranes with a larger ...
