In order to improve the bearing capacity of soft ground for the purpose of getting trafficability of construction vehicles, the reinforcement of geosynthetics for sand-mat layers on soft ground has often been used. As the strength of the geosynthetics increases, and the sand-mat system becomes stronger, the bearing capacity of sand-mat systems will be increased. The depths of geosynthetics, rei...

The relative stability of the normal and tautomeric forms of adenine and thymine has been formerly analysed with semi-empirical and abinitio methods [1—2]. In the same way we have now calculated the charge distribution of several excited states in order to determine the intramolecular charge transfer involved in the tautomerization process. Moreover, we have obtained the direction of the polari...

Subways have been an important method for relieving traffic pressures in urban areas, but ground subsidence, during construction and operation, can be a serious problem as it may affect the safety of its operation and that of the surrounding buildings. Thus, conducting long-term ground deformation monitoring and modeling for subway networks are essential. Compared with traditional geodetic meth...

Ground settlement due to the shallow tunneling in urban areas can have considerable implications for aboveground civilinfrastructures. Engineering geological characteristics of the tunnel host ground including geotechnical parameters of surrounding soil,groundwater situation, and in situ stress condition are amongst the most important factors affecting settlement. In this research, groundsettle...

Underwater shield tunneling will disturb the soil near river, especially in water-rich soft ground. This may cause a groundwater infiltration hydraulic gradient to exceed critical value, leading calamities, such as unexpected flooding or submerged erosion. To ensure security of construction and stability river embankment seepage, it is crucial assess safety underwater tunnel cover thickness. A ...

Nowadays, the need for subway tunnels has increased considerably with urbanization and population growth in order to facilitate movements. In urban areas, are excavated shallow depths under densely populated areas soft ground. Its associated hazards include poor ground conditions surface settlement induced by tunneling. Various sophisticated variables influence of caused The shield machine's op...

We show that the ground state of an attractive Bose gas in a double well evolves from a coherent state to a Schrödinger Cat like state as the tunneling barrier is decreased. The latter exhibits super-fragmentation similar to the ground state of a spin-1 Bose gas with antiferromagnetic interactions. We also show that the fragmented condensates of attractive and repulsive Bose gases in double wel...

Achieving symmetry of the soft-tissue margins between anterior maxillary dental-implant restorations and adjacent teeth is a therapeutic challenge for both the implant surgeon and the restorative dentist. This article describes a modified procedure utilizing autogenous connective-tissue grafts to improve primarily buccal soft-tissue margins and secondarily inter-proximal tissues around tooth-bo...
