Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Developing a universal tunnel span classification from global tunnel databases
A universal tunnel span classification system is introduced that incorporates tunnel span, cross‐sectional area, typical tunnel types, and intended uses. Representative flatness ratio values are also provided for each span class. The classification is derived from a comprehensive database of 450 tunnel profiles from 47 countries.

Geotechnics offshore Australia - Beyond traditional soil mechanics
This paper provides an overview of current research into, and practice of, offshore geotechnics in Australia. Offshore geotechnics is a specialism within geotechnical engineering, and offshore geotechnics in Australia involves a further level of ...

ABSTRACT Retaining walls are key geotechnical components of road infrastructure, whose seismic performance directly affects the resilience of transportation networks. Despite their importance, seismic fragility models for retaining walls available in the literature refer only to specific case studies.

ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

This study addresses hard roof coal seam conditions by optimizing key stratum blasting‐cutting parameters through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field tests. It proposes calculation methods for blast hole spacing and delay timing based on stress wave theory, controlling roadway deformation within 35 mm, thereby enhancing resource ...

The composition of intrusive rocks suggests that the magma was likely generated in a subduction‐related setting. The arc crustal thickness in the Phnom Sro Ngam and Halo Prospects was probably < 40 km during emplacement. Zircon U–Pb age range indicates a correlation with Loei Fold Belt magmatic activity.

Plastic luminescence in mechanoluminescent composites
Through compression tests and numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that the luminescence of a mechanoluminescent (ML) composite is strongly associated with plastic strain, thereby providing new insight into deformation‐induced luminescence during the plastic stage.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Influence of Relative Permeability Formulations on Hysteretic Seepage in Infinite Slopes
ABSTRACT The paper investigates the impact of two classical relative permeability formulations, one expressed in terms of pore water pressure and the other in terms of degree of saturation, on the predicted seepage in an infinite slope subjected to surface pore pressure variations.
