Characteristics of Changes in Residential Building Layouts in Public Rental Housing Complexes in New Towns of Korea by Hyojeong Kim, Byungdeok Roh

“…Using a structured analysis framework, this research examined layout types (orthogonal, parallel, staggered, and mixed) and key planning elements (density, building height, orientation, and building forms) across 24 complexes. The findings reveal a transition from orthogonal layouts with uniform linear flat-type buildings in the 1990s to mixed and parallel layouts incorporating tower-type buildings in the 2000s, reflecting an increased emphasis on density and aesthetics. …”

Deformation, fracture characteristics and damage constitutive model of soft coal under true triaxial complex stress paths. by Chongyang Jiang, Lianguo Wang, Jiaxing Guo, Shuai Wang

“…Furthermore, based on the experimental results, a damage constitutive model for soft coal is developed that integrates damage mechanics, Weibull statistical distribution theory, and the Mogi-Coulomb criterion to effectively measure microelement strength under true triaxial complex stress paths. Comparing the theoretical model with the experimental curves demonstrates that the proposed damage constitutive model can effectively reflect the deformation strength characteristics of soft coal under true triaxial complex stress paths. …”
