A NEW APPROACH FOR PARTICLE SIZE CHARACTERIZATION OF SOIL BASED ON DYNAMIC IMAGE ANALYSIS (DIA)
Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2019 Particle size distribution (PSD) affects soil behaviour and plays a main role in geotechnical engineering. In site investigations of large engineering structures, in earthquakes and liquefaction research and before filter material selection, it is ...

Free Trade Zones and Corporate ESG: Evidence From a Quasi‐Natural Experiment in China
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how China's Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) influence corporate ESG performance. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2024, we combine coarsened exact matching (CEM) and geography‐based instrumental variables to ensure robust identification.

Strength and deformation properties of fine-grained sulphide soil
, 2005 Sulphide soil is the dominating fine-grained soil type along the east coast of the northern part of Sweden. A sulphide soil typically consists of clay and silt fractions with various and smaller content of sand.

Analysis of a rapid load test on an instrumented bored pile in clay [PDF]
, 2006 Rapid load testing methods for piled foundations are generally easier and quicker to mobilise than classic static tests, and are less complex to analyse than dynamic load tests.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Geotechnical characteristics correlations for fine-grained soils
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 AbstractCompressibility and shear strength are the principal geotechnical engineering properties of soils, which control the stability of a soil mass under structural loads. Therefore, it is always required to be measured before the design of the foundation of any structure.

DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF CEMENTITIOUSLY STABILIZED LAYERS [PDF]
, 2012 The ability to retain stability and integrity over years of exposure to the destructive forces of weathering is one of the most important aspects of cementitiously stabilized layers (CSL) in pavement design.

Modified residual soil for the fine-grained layer of capillary barriers
, 2005 [THIS THESIS CONSISTS OF TWO (2) PARTS – THIS IS PART 1]. Capillary barrier, which is commonly defined as an earthen cover system consisting of a fine-grained soil overlying coarse-grained soil, has potential to be used as a slope protection technique ...

Subset Feature Learning for Fine-Grained Category Classification [PDF]
, 2015 Fine-grained categorisation has been a challenging problem due to small inter-class variation, large intra-class variation and low number of training images. We pro-pose a learning system which first clusters visually similar classes and then learns deep
