World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

This paper conducts a numerical simulation study on the construction of a deep‐buried tunnel in an anisotropic stratum area. A statistical analysis of the effects of two anti‐faulting design measures, namely, a conventional design and an articulated design, is carried out, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti‐faulting structures ...

Cross‐Entropy of Power Spectral Density Function: A Modal Identification Framework
ABSTRACT The power spectral density (PSD) function of measured structural response contains a significant amount of information, including the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios). Output‐only system identification or modal identification technique can be used for extracting such modal parameters from the measured response or its ...

ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...
