Research on a Critical Hydraulic Gradient of Piping in Noncohesive Soils

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
The critical hydraulic gradient of cohesive soil is an important condition for judging soil piping. For force analysis of movable particles in pore channels of soil, this study proposes to consider the influence of surrounding particles on the drag force

Experimental study on internal erosion behaviors under fluctuating hydraulic condition using transparent soil

Rock and Soil Mechanics, 2022
Internal erosion is a phenomenon that fine particles migrate through the channels within coarse matrix under seepage flow. Previous studies mainly focused on the internal erosion under steady hydraulic gradient, while the studies on the behavior and ...

Safety risk analysis of earth-rock dams based on the DEMATEL-ISM-ANP coupled model: With lianghekou hydropower station for example

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
Earth-rock dams are one of the most widely used dam types worldwide. The safety risk factors of dams typically demonstrate multi-source, inter-coupled, and dynamic features. There are complex interrelationships between these risk factors.

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Poseidon's Sanctuary at Samikon—The Discovery of an Ancient Temple Through an Integrated Geophysical and Geoarchaeological Survey Approach for Lagoonal and Swampy Environments

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Below the classical fortress of Samikon at the coast of the western Peloponnese, ancient writer Strabo mentioned a sanctuary of Poseidon which served as the centre of the religious association of the Triphylian cities. In this paper, we describe the discovery and investigation of a building structure by means of geophysical and ...

Major Technologies for Safe Construction of High Earth-Rockfill Dams

Engineering, 2016
The earth-rockfill dam is one of the primary dam types in the selection of high dams to be constructed in Western China, since it is characterized by favorable adaptability of the dam foundation; full utilization of local earth, rock, and building ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...
