CHARACTERIZATION OF UNDERLYING TWIN SHIELD TUNNELS DUE TO FOUNDATION-EXCAVATION UNLOADING IN SOFT SOILS: AN EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY

Characterization of Underlying Twin Shield Tunnels Due to Foundation-Excavation Unloading in Soft Soils: An Experimental and Numerical Study

Excavation near or above existing shield tunnels often results in adverse impacts on tunnel stability.To ensure the serviceability of existing tunnels, this paper presents experimental and numerical studies with reference to a foundation pit case history excavated above twin-tube shield tunnels in soft soils.The experimental tests were firstly appl

Channel formation in draining suspensions

We analyse how particles adhering to a wall can create tree-like structures (or flat trees) by an erosive flow.We vary the physical and chemical properties of the fluid and highlight their influences on Fridge Baffle Motor the patterns observed.We analyse the structures created and conclude that the mass concentration in particles have a clear impa

Toothpaste Abrasion and Abrasive Particle Content: Correlating High-Resolution Profilometric Analysis with Relative Dentin Abrasivity (RDA)

In this in vitro study, the influence of the concentration of abrasive particles on the abrasivity of toothpastes was investigated using laser scan profilometry on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) surfaces with the aim of providing an alternative method to developers for screening of new toothpaste formulations.PMMA plates were tested in a toothbrush
