Abstract: During subway tunnel construction, the consumed time for each ring (unit of construction progress) is highly dependent on objective factors such as geological conditions and shield performances, as well as subjective reasons ...

Abstract: A porous media approach was proposed to investigate the characteristics of the bifurcating airflow and mass transfer within a lung. The theory of porous media was introduced in order to deal ...

Abstract: The bond stress-slip relation between steel bars and concrete under reversed loading is very important for the seismic analysis and rehabilitation of concrete structures. In this study, an experimental investigation has ...

Abstract: Pumping at a large rate can convert a confined flow to a confined–unconfined one in a confined aquifer. In this paper, a new semianalytical solution is proposed to investigate the mechanism of transient confined–unconfined ...
