Analysis of x‐ray absorption spectra of U(VI) and U(V) oxides indicates an important role of U 5f−O$5f-\rm{O}$ 2p$2p$ charge transfer for increasing the 5f$5f$ occupancy and thereby affecting the ground state properties. ABSTRACT The 5f$5f$ states were probed in ThO2$\rm{ThO}_2$ and U(VI) and U(V) oxides using x‐ray absorption spectroscopy at the ...

Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Fault slip can occur ahead of the injection pressure front due to poroelastic stress. Our model captures the interaction of pressure, stress, and friction, providing new insights into injection‐induced seismicity and post‐injection fault slip. Shut‐in operations can either mitigate or accelerate seismic events depending on fault conditions and ...
