CALCULATION OF SOIL DISPLACEMENTS DUE TO RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION

open access: yesTASK Quarterly, 2000
With regard to serviceability state deformations, diaphragm walls and slurry walls cause considerable soil deformations during trench construction. 3-dimensional finite element analyses are able to quantify these deformations.

Simultaneous Measurement of Thermal Expansion and Thermo‐Optic Effect in Solids Using Terahertz Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Thermal expansion and the thermo‐optic effect in solids are closely coupled, reflecting concurrent changes in mass density and polarizability. Using echo‐resolved THz spectroscopy, we simultaneously determine sub‐micrometer thermal expansion and complex refractive index changes of MgO and Al2O3 from 10–325 K. The analysis yields both the coefficient of

Comparative Study on the Reinforced Sand-Bed and the Stone Column in Improving the Clay Deposit Supporting Isolated Footing

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering
The working mechanism of a geotechnical structure can be understood from the deformations and the vertical stresses in the soil media. This article attempts to study the deformation, vertical stress development, and distribution of improved clay deposits

Foundation of industrial floors on improved soils [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
The floor slabs are structures placed directly on ground, with large dimensions in X and Y directions generated by storage space requirements. The proposed paper presents a brief analysis of the foundation of industrial floors on improved soils so that ...

Edible Pouch Motors

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
