Abstract: Although overpressure burst of pipeline with pressure-protection systems occurs infrequently in case of blockage, it endangers personnel safety and causes serious economic loss when it happens. Therefore, assessing the ...

Abstract: Due to their low strength, high compressibility, and collapsibility, loess deposits are susceptible to large deformation and landslides during tunneling. An objective, scientific approach to stability assessment is urgently ...

Abstract: Near-surface air temperature lapse rate (NSATLR) is vital for hydrological simulation and mountain climate research in snowmelt-dominated regions. In this study, NSATLRs of two vertical zones (i.e., mountain grassland–coniferous ...
