Engineering geological appraisal of the rock masses and preliminary support design, Dorukhan Tunnel, Zonguldak, Turkey [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering Geology, 2007
This paper presents the results of engineering geological studies of the rock masses along a road tunnel. Rock mass qualities of the rock units along the tunnel were determined by means of Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Geomechanic Classification (Q) system ...

Scanning tunnelling engineering

Journal of Microscopy, 1988
SUMMARYThe great potential for building molecular scale machines and other structures was first noted by Richard Feynman (1960). He also proposed the development of tools to construct nanoscale mechanisms and devices. The range of technology that he proposed is now called nanotechnology, a term coined by Taniguchi (1974).

In Silico Engineering of Enzyme Access Tunnels

2021
Enzyme engineering is a tailoring process that allows the modification of naturally occurring enzymes to provide them with improved catalytic efficiency, stability, or specificity. By introducing partial modifications to their sequence and to their structural features, enzyme engineering can transform natural enzymes into more efficient, specific and ...

An Introduction to Tunnel Engineering

1996
A tunnel is much more than just a tunnel. It serves any of myriad functions—highway, railroad, or rapid transit artery; pedestrian passageway; fresh water conveyance, cooling water supply, wastewater collector or transport; hydropower generator; or utility corridor. Tunnels are constructed by cut- and-cover methods; in long, prefabricated sections sunk

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING FOR THE MEDWAY TUNNEL AND APPROACHES.

ICE Proceedings, Transport, 2000
The design and construction of the Medway immersed tube tunnel and approach structures required a thorough investigation of the site and a detailed understanding of the geology and geotechnical behaviour of the soils. The paper describes the ground investigation and discusses how the design accommodated the ground conditions to allow the tunnel and ...

Quantum Tunneling Affects Engine Performance

The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2013
We study the role of individual reaction rates on engine performance, with an emphasis on the contribution of quantum tunneling. It is demonstrated that the effect of quantum tunneling corrections for the reaction HO2 + HO2 = H2O2 + O2 can have a noticeable impact on the performance of a high-fidelity model of a compression-ignition (e.g., diesel ...
