Accurate prediction of peak ground intensity measures is inevitably influenced by geotechnical variability. Variations in soil properties, subsurface conditions, and seismic inputs introduce complexities that challenge the reliability of predictions. This study introduces a Bayesian generalized line...

The settlement prediction of monitoring projects within the affected area of shield construction is a key technical issue in engineering safety control. However, traditional settlement prediction models have significant limitations in terms of complex geological conditions and adaptability of dynami...

Due to the complex terrain and topographical constraints of the Loess Plateau, flat land suitable for engineering construction is extremely limited. To address this issue, filling gullies and leveling land has become a common solution, resulting in the widespread use of loess fill slopes across nume...

As global urbanization accelerates, the challenge of managing plastic and glass waste persists, with most waste ending up in landfills due to inadequate recycling strategies. In Kenya, these issues are compounded by the high cost and inconsistent quality of conventional cement-based masonry blocks,...

To design the bar connection details of joints more scientifically and address the variability of joint sizes in actual construction, this paper examined the force transmission mechanisms of linear bar, hooped-bar, and headed-bar joints. In doing so, it aimed to ensure the efficient completion of th...

Large-diameter subsea shield tunnels in coastal areas may inevitably cross saturated soils with different liquefaction resistance and are thus susceptible to seismic damage during earthquakes. This study investigated the seismic response and deformation mechanism of a shield tunnel embedded in nonun...

This article presents the application of untreated graphite tailings in foamed concrete by studying the properties of graphite tailings. It also investigates the effects of raw materials, water–cement ratio, and curing methods on the density, strength, and frost resistance of graphite tailings foame...

Rock lithology has a significant influence on rock failure. Different types of rocks generally exhibit various rock failure manners. Also, the microseismic (MS) generated during the failure process of different types of rocks will present different characteristics. In this paper, uniaxial compressiv...

Elevator noise is one of noise pollution that affect the living quality of residents. Because of the lack of accurate measurement methods and evaluation indexes for the indoor noise caused by elevator operation, the contradiction between residents complains over the elevator noise pollution and qual...

To analyze the behavior of typical hybrid steel–wood connections in wooden buildings, 3D continuum-based finite element analysis (FEA) models of the most critical connections were developed using the Abaqus/CAE program. Accurate modeling requires appropriate element and material formulations, as wel...

If earth pressure balance (EPB) shields are used for tunneling in clayey soils, dispersants are often applied to condition the mud. For the conditioned mud, the undrained shear strength is a key indicator determining the shield tunneling operational settings and assessing soil conditioning effective...

Semi-rigid base materials in desert areas are susceptible to fast evaporation of water due to high-temperature and dry environment during construction and curing, leading to insufficient cement hydration and shrinkage cracking, thus affecting the durability of the pavement. In this paper, through in...

Small coal pillar instability induced by lateral overlying strata in gob-side working faces is an engineering problem, which is one of the main bottlenecks restricting safety production. This study investigated the stability and control technologies for small coal pillars through theoretical analysi...

The clarification of the relationship between overburden movement, slope deformation damage, instability, sliding, and control is essential for the safe and efficient recovery of resources when using the room and pillar mining method for recovering trapped coal in edge areas. This study focuses on t...

The transportation sector is a major source of environmental air pollution, contributing 25% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. Among India’s transport sector, the road sector alone is responsible for 80%–90% of total GHG emissions. Besides emissions from construction and maintenance...
