Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.A novel shear‐lag model, validated by pull‐out tests, incorporates a constant bond stress stage to predict the complete load–displacement response of grouted rock bolts, providing a new tool for optimizing anchorage length and material toughness in deep underground engineering. Abstract The stability of rock masses in deep underground excavations, such

Responding to Cholera in Post-Earthquake Haiti
New England Journal of Medicine, 2011 Cholera had not been seen in Haiti in at least 100 years, but 9 months after the January 2009 earthquake, it somewhat unexpectedly emerged in a densely populated zone with little sanitary infrastructure and limited access to potable water.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Aluminum‐enhanced afterburning renders AE explosives more hazardous than conventional ones. Corrugated steel linings reduce far‐field AE blast overpressure by ~50% through wave reflection and dissipation. The developed model accurately predicts peak pressure (<10% error) and arrival time (<3% error), supporting protective design.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Aftershock: Reflections on the Politics of Reconstruction in Northern Gorkha [PDF]
, 2017 Many commentators have described the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake in Nepal either (1) through the notion that ‘nothing is going on’ in regards to postquake reconstruction; or (2) through a celebration of grassroots resilience and urban ...
