The contemporary American poet Gary Snyder’s translation of Chinese classic poetry turns out to be highly influential in the United States since the 1950s.American literary culture saw in these translations a refresh...
All engineering projects consist of several steps, and one of the main tasks is to identify and characterize the most important features of rock types that will be excavated, crushed, or mined for any particular usage...

Bottomless arch culverts are employed as ecological bridges at road crossings with their most common application being fish passage. The simulated culvert streambed should mimic the existing natural channel but be eng...
Bed protection in apron downstream was installed to use riprap or gabion mattress. In the case of bed protection using riprap, the decision on the riprap diameter is very important because riprap diameter means the ca...
Various methods are proposed to control scouring around bridge piers. In the present study application of riprap alone and combinations of riprap and collar were examined experimentally for scour control around cylind...
This paper examines scour and scour countermeasures at bridge piers and abutments. Abutment scour is by far more complex than its counterpart associated with piers because of the possibility of the presence of a flood...
The riprap air-cooled roadbed and common roadbed experimental project were designed and carried on in Qingshuihe test filed, an area of warm permafrost category with the fine frozen soil along Qinghai-Tibet Railway, t...
Stability of earth dams during earthquakes has been a major concern for gcotechnical engineers in seismic active regions. Liquefaction induced slope failure occurred at the upstream slope of a major earth dam in the s...
According to the climatic characteristics of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and in accordance with engineering practice and theory, this paper attempts to analyzethe choosing principlesand the technical applicabilityof rip...
