The spiral conical perforations generated during methane in situ explosion fracturing operations lead to tensile fracture propagation in shale reservoirs being governed by the combined effects of impact pressure, bedding, and aperture under explosive loading. Using multiple regression analysis and digital image correlation technology, the mechanisms of

Design methodology for a school prototype: Jean Prouvé’s Jules Ferry School Group in Dieulouard, France, 1952–1953 [PDF]
The catastrophic destruction of buildings in France during World War II demanded that reconstruction become one of the primary objectives in the immediate post-war period.

Cement infill shares compressive and shear stresses during loading, while interfacial friction hinders crack propagation and reduces stress concentration, improving the rock's load‐bearing capacity. Failure modes vary with crack inclination. Unfilled specimens show four modes.

‘Out of the blue foam’. MVRDV’s Didden Village as a full-scale model [PDF]
For almost two decades MVRDV (Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs, Nathalie de Vries) of Rotterdam is known for the provocative, ludic and imaginative tone of its architectural proposals and a symbolic and experimental use of color often becomes the hallmark that ...

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.

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 ...
