Investigation of Lateral Stress Relief on theStability of PHI = 0 DEG Slopes Using Laboratory, Fracture Mechanics, and Finite Element Method Approaches [PDF]
, 2011 Total stress analyses of purely cohesive cut slopes utilize the undrained shear strength for slope stability analyses. These slopes can have an in-situ lateral earth pressure that is greater than the vertical pressure.

Free Trade Zones and Corporate ESG: Evidence From a Quasi‐Natural Experiment in China
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how China's Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) influence corporate ESG performance. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2024, we combine coarsened exact matching (CEM) and geography‐based instrumental variables to ensure robust identification.

The use of a DMT to monitor the stability of the slopes of a clay exploitation pit in the Boom clay in Belgium [PDF]
, 2015 In Belgium the Boom Clay is a well known overconsolidated clay formation. This Tertiary clay, with the same geological origin as the London Clay, is used for the fabrication of bricks, roofing tiles. In the article is described how the DMT can be used to

Interaction of piled foundation with a rupturing normal fault [PDF]
, 2013 Post-seismic observations in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have indicated that piled foundations may be less suitable than stiff mat foundations in defending a structure against a major normal fault rupturing underneath.

Resilience Practices and Post‐Traumatic Growth Among Sudanese IDPs
Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper we examine the resilience of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan who have endured various forms of suffering resulting from being targeted or trapped by militants involved in large‐scale violence. Upon escaping the conflict zones, the civilians exhibit strength, adaptability, and wisdom in the face of various threats to ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract One of the significant challenges faced in shield tunnel construction is the risk of collapse resulting from abrupt changes in soil conditions in advance of the working face, particularly within the sandy cobble stratum. This study aims to effectively manage these sudden variations and to further investigate the failure mechanisms associated ...

Numerical Method for Computing Seismic Slip-Line Fields and Earth Pressure Coefficients in Cohesionless Backfills [PDF]
LithosphereThis study introduced a novel numerical method for calculating seismic slip-line fields and earth pressure coefficients in cohesionless backfills with an inclined and rough retaining wall. By integrating the triangular slice method with the pseudo-static
