Performance of Prestressed Anchor Cables Supporting Deep Foundation Pit of a Subway Station during Spring Thaw by Chuntao Feng, Zhihe Cheng, Lei Zhu

“…Based on the deep foundation pit for a subway station in Changchun (China), a 3D numerical model of water–heat coupling in a prestressed pile anchor system was established to determine its performance in freezing and thawing seasons in alpine areas. Its reliability was confirmed using field monitoring data on the prestressed anchor cables, which demonstrated changes in surface subsidence, anchor cable axial force, and pile horizontal displacement during spring thaw. …”

Long-Term Field Performance of Pervious Concrete Pavement by Aleksandra Radlińska, Andrea Welker, Kathryn Greising, Blake Campbell, David Littlewood

“…The work described in this paper provides an evaluation of an aged pervious concrete pavement in the Northeastern United States to provide a better understanding of the long-lasting effects of placement techniques as well as the long-term field performance of porous pavement, specifically in areas susceptible to freezing and thawing. Multiple samples were taken from the existing pavement and were examined in terms of porosity and unit weight, compressive and splitting tensile strength, and the depth and degree of clogging. …”

Constructing a Coalition to Break the Frozen Landscape: The Achievements and Limits of Healthcare Reform in Uruguay (2005-2014) by Freigedo, Martín, Fuentes, Guillermo, Rodríguez Araújo, Martín

“…Once it was clear that the reform process guaranteed the survival of each actor, the existing political differences inside of the coalition and between the political and secondary aspects were overcome, but these differences could have put the breaks on the reformist impulse and brought about a new period of stasis or ‘freezing’. To confirm this hypothesis, this result could be explained by the sequence of implementation of the reforms, which at the same time brought with it political viability, strengthened actors that had been weakened in the reform process and reconstructed historical veto points.…”
