Abstract: Foamed concrete backfill has been proved to be an ideal material to improve the bearing capacity of underground engineering structures with the exception of buried pipelines. In order to study the role of foamed concrete ...

Abstract: The infiltration of slurry in granular media plays an important role in face stability during slurry shield tunneling. This study investigates the effect of slurry viscosity in Fujian standard sand through a series of ...

Abstract: The contraction behavior of monotonically expanded cavities is intriguing as it offers insights into certain geotechnical scenarios, especially for pressuremeter tests, where the unloading data is equally informative as ...

Abstract: The charging/discharging characteristics and life cycle of a lithium-ion battery are significantly dependent on the battery thermal performance. In this study, the three-dimensional numerical model was developed to explore ...
