Abstract: This paper presents an innovative construction method with bipartition walls (BPW), which was developed to reduce the excavation-induced adverse impact on the supporting structures and surrounding environment in oversized ...

Abstract: Excavation-induced ground settlement causes adverse impact or damage on adjacent facilities. If a foundation pit is connected to the facilities, the responses of the facilities can be influenced by soil inside the pit. ...

Abstract: When adjacent foundation pits are excavated concurrently, the stress and deformation of the soil and structures are affected by their interactions. This paper investigates the performance of two adjacent deep foundation ...

Abstract: Condenser performance benefits afforded by dropwise condensation have long been unattainable in steam cycle power plant condensers due to the unavailability of durable and long-lasting hydrophobic surface treatments. ...
