Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

Adjustment of the calculated value of the elasticty modulus of asphalt concrete
Дороги і мостиIntroduction. One of the most important characteristics of asphalt concrete that characterizes its properties is the elasticity modulus. The elasticity modulus of asphalt concrete is used in the design of pavement structures to calculate its permissible ...

Characterisation of Asphalt Concrete Using Nanoindentation [PDF]
Materials, 2017 In this study, nanoindentation was conducted to extract the load-displacement behaviour and the nanomechanical properties of asphalt concrete across the mastic, matrix, and aggregate phases. Further, the performance of hydrated lime as an additive was assessed across the three phases.

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Laboratory verification of predicted permanent deformation in asphalt materials following climate change. [PDF]
, 2011 In the past a change in temperature of 5°C most often occurred over intervals of thousands of years. According to estimates by the IPCC, in the XXI century is expected an increase in average temperatures in Europe between 1.8 and 4.0°C in the best case ...

Asphalt concrete mixtures with addition of reclaimed asphalt pavements [PDF]
International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure, 2021 The effect of using reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) to asphalt concrete mixtures besides their utilization is to reduce the amount of the new bituminous binder and aggregate added to hot mix asphalt. This publication presents studies on asphalt mixtures with an increased up to 40% amount of RAP additive with the simultaneous use of 2 types of added ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.
