Effect of Expanding a Rectangular Tunnel on Adjacent Structures

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
The expansion of urban underpass has become the mainstream of development to cope with urban congestion, and the effect on adjacent existing structures during enlarging construction is also an important issue in the construction process.

Collapse-Pounding Dynamic Responses of Adjacent Frame Structures under Earthquake Action

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
There are a large number of adjacent buildings in practical engineering application. The structure will collapse and impact the adjacent structures once the weak column is destroyed under seismic action, and, finally, the earthquake damage is aggravated.

Structured Water Layers Adjacent to Biological Membranes [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2006
Water amid the restricted space of crowded biological macromolecules and at membrane interfaces is essential for cell function, though the structure and function of this "biological water" itself remains poorly defined. The force required to remove strongly bound water is referred to as the hydration force and due to its widespread importance, it has ...

Effect of Excavation Dewatering on Adjacent Structures

open access: yesUniversity of Khartoum Engineering Journal, 2022
The study aims to investigate the effect of dewatering technique on retained ground and adjacent existing structures in order to avoid any damages that may occur. The paper presents three cases of potential structure failure caused by ground settlement as a result of dewatering.
