Runway Safety Area Slope Failure

, 2018
To increase safety at the busy Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia, an engineered materials arrestor system (EMAS) designed to safely stop aircraft was installed at the end of the runway. During installation, the safety area was expanded by adding a new fill slope in the hilly terrain. In March 2015 the runway safety area collapsed. This is the

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
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

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 ...

Safety of Air Transport in Relation to Pavement Condition of Runways

Transportation Research Procedia, 2019
Abstract Even though the satisfactory condition of the airfield pavement in terms of serviceability, there are some situations, when air traffic safety is affected. There are extreme phenomena in global warming scenarios. In particular, the increase in air temperature during the summer months, due to which decreases the quality of the pavement.

Design of a Hydroelectronic Solar‐Tracking System for Solar Panels

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A prototype of a passive solar‐tracking system utilizing buoyant force based on water level was developed, and its MATLAB/Simulink model was implemented. This study is expected to encourage researchers to design solar‐tracking mechanisms using metals with different thermal expansion coefficients, air, oil, and other fluids. ABSTRACT This study presents

Risk impact indicator analysis of runway excursion event

Hangkong gongcheng jinzhan
Research on the risk of runway excursion events is mostly based on accident statistics. Analysis is rarely conducted from flight data and flight operation characteristics. Therefore，based on the QAR（quick access recorder）data，the risk analysis for runway
