Simplified Method for Calculating the Active Earth Pressure on Retaining Walls of Narrow Backfill Width Based on DEM Analysis by Minghui Yang, Bo Deng

“…Spaces for backfills are often constrained and narrowed when retaining walls must be built close to existing stable walls in urban areas or near rock faces in mountainous areas. The discrete element method (DEM), using Particle Flow Code (PFC-2D) software, was employed to simulate the behavior of cohesionless soil with narrow width behind a rigid retaining wall when the wall translation moved away from the soils. …”

Analysis of Tunnel Lining Failure Mechanism under the Action of Active Fault by Sujian Ma, Liang Zhang, Dong Wang, XinRong Tan, Sifeng Li, Yang Liu

“…Relying on an actual tunnel in the southwest mountainous area to establish a three-dimensional finite element model, the failure mechanism of the tunnel under strike-slip and thrust fault dislocation is revealed from the lining deformation, stress distribution, and plastic zone distribution, and the results show that the damage range of the lining distributes in the area of the fracture and the damage effect is greatly affected by the movement amount of the active fault. …”

Observation and Numerical Simulation of Terrain-Induced Windshear at the Hong Kong International Airport in a Planetary Boundary Layer without Temperature Inversions by P. W. Chan, K. K. Hon

“…The model is found to have skills in capturing the terrain-induced windshear, including the terrain-induced microburst due to the mountains of Lantau Island. Moreover, the windshear detection algorithm as applied to the AVM output, called AVM-GLYGA, is able to give advance alert for the occurrence of low-level windshear. …”

La station de Bergusium et le site des Buissières à Panossas (Isère) : de la toponymie à l’archéologie by Matthieu Poux, Aldo Borlenghi

“…Its name is derived from the Celtic berg-/brig-, similar to the theonym Bergusia referred to in an Alesian inscription and related to a tutelary goddess of mining in these mountains. Reinforced by the pattern of names in Transalpine and Cisalpine Gaul, this hypothesis would fit well with Briançon, which represents the region’s main Oolitic iron ore deposit. …”
