Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

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 ...

Influence of the principal stress rotation on the undrained shear strength of silty sand [PDF]
علوم زمین خوارزمیThe construction of geotechnical structures in sandy soils requires load bearing evaluation in undrained conditions. Undrained shear strength depends on many factors, including principal stress rotation (anisotropic behavior). However, the effect of this

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats
Ecography, EarlyView.Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps
Ecography, EarlyView.Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Ecography, EarlyView.Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract The search for sustainable alternatives for bioethanol production has encouraged the valorization of agro‐industrial residues. This study evaluated the use of residual barley as a feedstock for bioethanol production and as a potential ingredient for ruminant feed.
