Introduction Tunnels provide a feasible alternative to cross through the physical barriers or water body. With the rapid development of the world, the utilization of underground space plays an important … Read More
Introduction Compared with compressive or shear strength, tensile strength of soil is basically assumed to be zero, or insignificant in geotechnical engineering practice because of its relatively low value. In … Read More
Introduction Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geo-foam blocks are used as a lightweight fill in a wide range of geotechnical applications. The primary function of geo-foam is to provide a lightweight fill … Read More
Introduction–non-uniform in situ stresses and high horizontal stresses in mine environments Coal mining is a type of manufacturing enterprise. But unlike manufacturing where it builds a covered structure and begins … Read More
Introduction The W-E trending barrier island of Langeoog is located at the German North Sea coast, along the northern rim of the intertidal Wadden Sea (Fig. 1a). The water supply … Read More
Introduction Natural gas hydrate, as a kind of novel, efficient and environment-friendly substitute energy, is widely distributed in continental permafrost zones and seafloors along continental margins (Kvenvolden KA, 1995; Boswell … Read More
Introduction Glacial and periglacial environments are particularly sensitive to the effects of climate change (Haeberli and Beniston, 1998, Hinzman et al., 2005). However, few easily recognisable landforms in cold landscapes … Read More
Introduction Whilst modern geophysical methodology is increasingly applied at nuclear legacy sites worldwide, the full potential of near-surface geophysics has yet to be fully recognized by the nuclear industry and … Read More
Introduction Few of the physical properties of a rock include electrical resistivity or conductivity, density, magnetic susceptibility, dielectric permittivity, acoustic impedance. The variance in the aforementioned properties of a geologic … Read More
Introduction Buried and open tunnel valleys are common features in former glaciated regions (Kehew et al., 2012, van der Vegt et al., 2012). The buried valleys are often a key … Read More
