Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Tunnel Boring Machine Advancements in Horizontal and Up-Hill TunnelsStefano Fuoco, Pierpaolo OresteProblem statement: Nowadays high levels of experience have been acquired in the excavation of horizontal tunnels using TBM, especially as far as tunnels with small diameters (about 4 m wide) are concerned. Less experience has been acquired in the excavation of tunnels under difficult alignment conditions, as in the case of steeply inclined excavations (up-hill tunnels). Approach: This study presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKey Factors in the Face Stability Analysis of Shallow TunnelsDaniel Dias, Pierpaolo OresteStability of the excavation face in shallow tunnels and in poor ground is at present a relevant problem in tunnelling. A new calculation procedure is illustrated in this study for the analysis of the effect on the face stability in shallow tunnels of the following key factors: pre-support structures, presence of groundwater, free length of the tunnel (length of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Debarking and Insecticidal Treatments Using Cypermethrin on Fresh Logs of Indonesian Pine, Pinus merkusii, on Attack by Ambrosia Beetle, Xyleborus sp.Paimin Sukartana, Mohammad Muslich, Ginuk SumarniProblem statement: Indonesian pine logs (Pinus merkusii Yungh. et de Vr.) are vulnerable to attack by ambrosia beetle Xyleborus sp. Fresh cut logs kept for months in logging area are subject to heavily attack by the beetles. Approach: An experiment was conducted to evaluate effectiveness of debarking and insecticidal treatments using cypermethrin on fresh logs of the wood species on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2011 · 7,916 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Evaluation of the Groundwater Influence on the Stress and Strain Behavior around a Tunnel by Analytical MethodsPierpaolo OresteThe presence of an aquifer in the soil causes a change in a relevant way of the stability conditions of a tunnel. The flow of water in the pores, in fact, modifies the stress and strain state of the soil and causes an increase in the thickness of the plastic zone. As a result the loads transmitted on the lining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2015 · 6,459 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Applied Study on the Debris Recycling in TunnellingPierpaolo Oreste, Marta CastellanoProblem statement: A simple calculation has shown what the impact of muck created during the construction of a hypothetical 50 km long and 100 m2 cross section tunnel could be on the environment: around 8 million cubic meters would have to be discharged as waste material. One solution to such a problem could be to recycle (almost a part) the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2012 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Dynamics Simulation and Analysis of Crystallization System in PVC Tunnel Drain-Pipe at Different TemperaturesZhongwei Hou, Xuefu Zhang, Yuanjiang ZhouAiming at the problem that carbonate and calcium ions are easy to crystallize and precipitate in the drain-pipes of limestone tunnels and then adsorb on PVC pipes in Western China, a "solid-liquid interface model" for the interaction between PVC materials and ions in aqueous solution is established by using the molecular dynamics simulation software materials studio and the microscopic mechanism … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2021 · 6,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe ‘Celalettin-Field Quantum Observation Tunnel’ a Quantum Communication Countermeasure Speculative StructureM. Celalettin, H. KingThe ‘Celalettin-Field Quantum Observation Tunnel’ (COT) is a speculative structure produced in an ensemble of Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) polarized outer ‘s’ shell electrons, whereby an incoming photon, depolarizes ‘s’ shell electrons as it burrows through the ensemble, creating a tunnel. The depolarized particles when viewed as a single quantum system can theoretically be used to acquire information on the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Apr 2019 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNondestructive Test Using a 3D Computer Vision System for Damage Detection of StructuresTaylor M.V. Szeto, Sun YiStructures that do not have a definitive map nor a clearly known state of health may exist underground, beyond our reach and in unsuitable environments. Nuclear facilities contain underground tunnels that exhaust hazardous gases. Industry has miles of sewage lines beneath it that emit flammable and toxic gases. Regular inspection and maintenance is an essential part of failure prevention, however, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2018 · 8,257 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProject HARPRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The HARP project, abbreviated from the High Altitude Project, was considered a joint project of the United States Department of Defense and Canada's Department of Defense, originally designed to study low-cost re-entry vehicles. Generally, such projects used rocket launchers to launch missiles, costly and often inefficient. The HARP project used a non-rocket space launch method based on a very large … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2017 · 19,789 accessesView PDFCite
