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 ...

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 ...

The Role of Current Mismatch on Reverse‐Bias Stability of Monolithic Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Reverse‐bias stability in monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells requires a silicon–current‐limited regime. When the perovskite current exceeds the silicon current, the reverse voltage is mainly borne by the silicon cell, reducing perovskite stress.
