Abstract: Regarding urbanization as an interactive process between urban and rural development, this paper attempts to reveal the correlation between urbanization and rural development in China through comprehensive quantitative ...

Abstract: Surface settlement is considered a key indicator in the pipe jacking procedure of the steel tube slab (STS) pipe-roofing method. Commonly, the existing equations for this safety indicator are applied in the process of ...

Abstract: Coagulation is vital in water treatment, but predicting coagulant doses using mechanistic models is challenging due to complex processes. Traditionally, jar testing is used, but it struggles with varying water quality. ...

Abstract: With higher requirements in stiffness and strength, the running safety of high-speed railway bridges is more sensitive to structural damage. Compared with long steel hangers, short steel hangers sustain greater damage under ...

Abstract: This study aims to clarify the mechanism of slurry support and its effect at different stages of slurry infiltration in shield construction. The analysis of various expressions of slurry support throughout the entire ...

Abstract: Deep excavation projects in urban areas may adversely affect underlying tunnels. Differential settlement and additional stresses in existing tunnels occur frequently due to excavation construction, which leads to the opening ...

Abstract: Numerical analyses have been widely used to investigate the stability of deep excavations. The results of this type of analyses rely on the constitutive model that is adopted for the analyses. Although many advanced ...
