Valuation of Urban Parks Under the Three-Level Park System in Shenzhen: A Hedonic Analysis by Xun Li, Qingyu He, Wenwen Huang, Siu-Tai Tsim, Jian-Wen Qiu

“…Regarding accessibility, shortening walking distance by 100 m to the nearest community park and city park can attach a premium to the housing price by 0.3269% (RMB 20,203.55) and 0.6130% value gain (RMB 37,889.53), respectively. The results drawn from distinctive park types are expected to give insights to urban planners in formulating strategies for ecological civilization construction, with an emphasis on prioritizing visible and accessible greenspaces to cater to citizens’ preferences and foster sustainable urban growth.…”

Acoustic Emission and Failure Modes for Coal-Rock Structure under Different Loading Rates by Ning Wang, Yingqian Xu, Dengyuan Zhu, Nan Wang, Benfu Yu

“…The following conclusions are drawn: (1) when loading rate was relatively low, plastic deformation of coal mass fully developed, while surface cracks of coal mass was not apparent and slip along the transfixion crack occurred in the postpeak stage; (2) with the increase in loading rate, surface tensile cracks developed into splitting cracks at the end of the prepeak stage and throughout the postpeak stage, and brittle failure finally happened due to the release of nonlinear step-shaped energy or one-time strain energy release of upper rock mass, resulting in the damage of internal bearing structure and weakening of bearing capacity; (3) the deformation and failure process of combined samples showed obvious phases, and corresponding AE energy release rate could be divided into periodic linear growth and transient growth, while the cumulative energy of AE events has multiple peak points and transient growth with the increase of loading rate; (4) it was demonstrated that two distinct frequency bands existed in AE events, which were about 50 kHz and 150 kHz, and the distribution of AE events near 50 kHz was larger and stronger, representing the main frequency range of cracks in coal mass. …”

Experimental Study of Water Transfer and Ice Accumulation in Freezing Soils under Different Conditions by Sihao Liang, Xinyan Ma, Qiang Li, Xinyu Ye, Jianlong Liu, Jian Zhang

“…A series of tests for water transfer and ice accumulation were conducted under different soil types and conditions of water supply method, temperature gradient, and initial water content; the influence of the above parameters on the efficiency of water and vapor transfer was investigated and discussed. The main conclusions drawn are as follows. First, due to the difference in permeability for different soil type, water (i.e., liquid water and vapor) transfers differently. …”

Experimental Study and Life Prediction of Bolt Loosening Life under Variable Amplitude Vibration by Guangwu Yang, Chengjian Che, Shoune Xiao, Bing Yang, Tao Zhu, Shilin Jiang

“…The data of each stage of residual preload under each displacement amplitude were summarized, and the displacement-life (D-N) curve of bolt loosening under different loosening situations (percentage of residual preload) which is referred to the material fatigue life S-N curve was drawn. Finally, the accumulation mechanism of bolt loosening has been studied and the linear accumulation model of bolt loosening has been set up through designing variable amplitude vibration tests at high-low and low-high displacement stages. …”
