Macroscopic Embodiment of Stress–Strain Behavior of Backfill Soil on the Displacement-Dependent Earth Pressure Curve
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Treating the soil within the failure zone behind the wall as the specimen in a simple shear box, and the soil transition from initial to limit states as the shearing process of soil specimen, a geometrical model was proposed ...
Biochar as a Carrier of Struvite Precipitation for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Recovery from Urine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Struvite precipitation is a promising approach to recover nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). However, poor solid−liquid separation of struvite precipitation crystallization can significantly decrease resource recovery ...
Bio Inspired Fast Actuation by Mechanical Instability of Thermoresponding Hydrogel Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inspired by natural plants, thermoresponding hydrogel (TRH) structures have been designed to trigger mechanical instability with fast actuation. Tough Caalginate/poly(Nisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel has been ...
