THE SHEAR BEHAVIOUR OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE FOUR-PILE CAPS

, 2009
There has been a consistent discrepancy between UK design standards BS5400 and BS8110 in the prediction of the shear capacity of 2-way spanning reinforced concrete pile caps from bending theory-based empirical design formulae.

Finite Element Simulation on Soil Compaction Effect and Mechanical Properties of Precast Nodular Pile

Geofluids
The bearing capacity of traditional prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe pile is hampered by the poor mechanical properties of surrounding soil in soft soil areas, and the PHC nodular pile can improve the behavior of pile foundation in soft ...

Elaborating the Motivations and Attitudes Driving Interest in Voluntary Biodiversity Credits

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global biodiversity loss has prompted the search for new sources of conservation finance, such as voluntary biodiversity credits (VBCs). However, despite optimistic market projections, current uptake of VBCs is limited. Adopting an interpretive approach, we analyse 21 semistructured interviews with early market actors (buyers, sellers ...

Greenwashing in the Spotlight: Synthesising Evidence on Unethical Environmental Claims and Future Pathways

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are experiencing mounting pressure to report their environmental impact. Rather than disclosing their actual performance, however, some are engaging in unethical business (i.e., greenwashing) practices. Prior studies have contributed significantly to the greenwashing literature from varied perspectives, but a comprehensive understanding ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
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 ...

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...
