Elaborating the Motivations and Attitudes Driving Interest in Voluntary Biodiversity Credits

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global biodiversity loss has prompted the search for new sources of conservation finance, such as voluntary biodiversity credits (VBCs). However, despite optimistic market projections, current uptake of VBCs is limited. Adopting an interpretive approach, we analyse 21 semistructured interviews with early market actors (buyers, sellers ...

Model Test Study on the Vertical Uplift Bearing Characteristics of Soil Continuous Solidified Pile Group Foundations

Buildings
To solve the problem of the high bearing capacity of structures in deep and weak soil layers, we invented a new type of pile group foundation in which the soil was continuously solidified between piles (hereinafter referred to as the SCS pile group ...

Uplift Behaviour of Short Piles In Uniform Sand

Soils and Foundations, 1985
ABSTRACT The results of laboratory studies on the uplift behaviour of short piles in uniform sands are presented. Smooth and rough mild steel piles (12.7 mm in diameter) in two uniform sands were used in the investigation. Tests were conducted for dry and submerged conditions of soil placed at either of the two densities (loose or dense). The uplift
