Full-scale loading tests were performed on shield segmental linings bearing a high earth pressure and high inner water pressure,focus-ing on the effects of the inner water load and assembly manner on the mechanical pr...
Japan has yet to establish a seismic design for road box culverts(RBCs)because past major earthquakes did not damage them.In recent years,structures with enlarged sectional dimensions(the purpose of which is to optimi...
Advantages of polyethylene pipes over traditional steel or metal pipes have increased industry interest in the use of polyethylene(PE)pipelines for underground applications and especially in gas distribution networks....
During the loading process,buried gas pipes can experience severe stresses due to soil-structure interaction,the presence of traffic load,the soil’s column weight,daily and/or seasonal temperature changes and uniform...
