Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

Numerical and Experimental Study on Soil Plug Resistance of Open-Ended Pipe Pile with a Restriction Plate

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
The end bearing capacity of open-ended pipe piles is highly dependent upon the soil plugging behavior inside the pipe wall. For large-diameter open-ended pipe piles, the arching effect due to inner soil-pile friction may be insufficient to generate a ...

Experimental and numerical study of arching soil effect in coarse sand

open access: yesComputers and Geotechnics, 2014
Abstract The arching effect in soils consists on the redistribution of stresses from a yielding portion of the soil mass to more rigid regions. This article presents the results of an experimental and numerical study of the arching effect in soils. The experimental study is based on Terzaghi’s trapdoor test.

Biopolymer‐Coated Paper Composites for Sustainable Packaging

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional plastic packaging, though dominant in food and flexible applications, poses serious environmental concerns due to its persistence and limited recyclability. To address this challenge, this study develops bio‐based coated paper composites as sustainable alternatives. Paper, while biodegradable, lacks adequate barrier properties. To

Case study on deformation control of upper-soft and lower-hard large span tunnel station using combined control technology and monitoring demonstration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A large number of shallow buried tunnels are built in the city nowadays and the special strata such as large upper-soft and lower-hard ground often encountered. Deformation control of strata is the focus issue related to the construction safety. Based on
