Analysis of Engineering and Geological Conditions of International Submarine Optical Fiber Cable Routing in the East China Sea Section by Ti-qiang Zhang, Zi-xian Fan, Nan Ning, Jian-zhong Tang, Dai-xin Kou

“…Additionally, the geological engineering conditions of the international optical cable routing in the East China Sea area will be analyzed based on the field investigation data such as multibeam, side-scan sonar, shallow stratigraphic profile, sediment sampling, and cone penetration test (CPT). It is found that the main geological factors in the East China Sea shelf area are submarine scouring, sandwave, shallow gas, and hard seabed; in the land slope area are steep slope, submarine valley, rock, landslide, and shallow gas (pockmark); and in the Okinawa Trough area are gully, sea mound/seamount, rock, shallow gas, fault, and hard strata outcrop. …”

Nonlinear Constitutive Model of High-Temperature Viscoelastic Deformation of Gussasphalt Concrete by Shunxian Zhang, Aimin Sha, Xu Lu, Wen Nie, Weixiong Li, Junjian Yan

“…To accurately evaluate the high-temperature stability of cast asphalt concrete, based on the traditional viscoelastic mechanical model, this paper innovatively improves the traditional viscoelastic mechanical model considering the conditions of temperature and dynamic load and deduces the viscoelastic constitutive model of high-temperature deformation performance of cast asphalt concrete, using a dynamic penetration test (DPT) to regress improved the Burgers model parameters and verify the model’s applicability and reliability. …”
