Recycling Waste Soils for Stability Enhancement in Bored Pile Construction by Feng Li, Lei Zhang, Zhengzhen Wang, Qiqi Liu, Tiantao Su, Jinke Wang

“…In unstable soil layers, the pile hole wall was prone to instability, and the stability of the hole wall could be improved by appropriately increasing the gravity of mud slurry. With the increase in pile diameter, the lateral displacement and deformation of the hole wall increase, and the displacement of the soil layer increases when the hole wall is unstable, increasing the possibility of forming variable cross-section piles correspondingly.…”

Efficiency Measurement and Determinant Factors of Marine Economy in China: Based on the Belt and Road Perspective by Yinyin Wang, Conghua Xue, Huimin Li, Kaizhi Yu

“…The research found that (1) the average change of marine economic efficiency is not large, and the efficiency values among most provinces are relatively stable. (2) The center of gravity of marine economic efficiency gradually shifts from the northeast to the southwest; the spatial scope continues to shrink, the level of flatness indicates increase at first followed by decrease, and the direction angle shows a fluctuating trend. (3) The compliance rate of industrial wastewater discharge and the diversification of the marine industry structure have strong explanatory capacity in marine economic efficiency in the coastal areas. …”

Seismic Performance Assessment of Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame Equipped with Viscous Dampers under Pulse-Like Earthquakes by Amir Yousefpour, Hamid Mazidababdi Farahani, Mohsen Ali Shayanfar

“…In conventional structures, the earthquake-resistant design is based on flexibility after yielding of structural members to provide a loss of earthquake input energy, while, using dampers, the input energy loss can be concentrated in predetermined points to prevent the nonlinear behavior of the main members that are also in the gravity bearing path. However, near-fault earthquakes might cause unexpected failure and severe structural damage, especially those with the pulse-like effect. …”
