Abstract: It has been a significant challenge to ensure high-efficiency, stable power supplies in complementary wind–hydropower generation systems, and there are increasing concerns about power curtailment and uncertainty control ...

Abstract: Building, managing, and operating prisons is essential for sustaining a country’s criminal justice system. The provision of prison services usually incurs large capital expenditures and high operating costs, requires hybrid ...

Abstract: In situ stress is a significant characteristic of underground rock masses. This work extended the time-domain recursive method (TDRM) to study oblique wave attenuation across an in situ stressed joint wherein the normal ...

Abstract: A physics-based macroscopic global seismic damage model is developed for lattice shell structures excited by strong earthquakes. Global seismic damage is generated from so-called modal damage that is defined as the loss ...

Abstract: Numerous benefits are delivered by the utilization of volumetric modular construction (VMC); however, it carries unique risks at different project stages, which is one of the significant reasons for its low adoption. To ...

Abstract: A unique local tsunami had a very large impact on the coastal stations near Dålk Glacier; this kind of tsunami is related to iceberg activity. To provide a reference for tsunami warning and disaster prevention at these ...

Abstract: Strong dynamic disturbances constitute an important problem threatening the safety of deep underground engineering projects. The mechanical mechanisms responsible for such disturbances in deep rock masses can be revealed ...
