Study on Deformation Law of Deep Foundation Pit with the Top-Down Method and Its Influence on Adjacent Subway Tunnel by Yue Gui, Zhenxing Zhao, Xiaqiang Qin, Jianfei Wang

“…Based on the analyses on the data of field and numerical simulation, the following major findings were obtained: (1) the relationship between the measured maximum wall deflection, δhm, and excavation depth, H, in this study is δhm=0.06%H∼0.27%H, which is quite different compared with the relationship of soft-soil pit δhm=0.02%H∼1.2%H, but closer to the normalized curve of rock-socketed pile δhm=0.01%H∼0.45%H and rock-socketed diaphragm wall δhm=0.031%H∼0.129%H. (2) The relationship between the maximum settlement of column (δp) and excavation depth (H) is δp=−0.09%∼0.04%H. …”

Plantar sensation associates with gait instability in older adults by Jason R. Franz, Andrew D. Shelton, Kota Z. Takahashi, Jessica L. Allen

“…Methods We measured plantar sensation using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments and quantified margins of stability (MoS) and whole-body angular momentum (WBAM) during habitual walking and in response to optical flow perturbations, lateral waist-pull perturbations, and treadmill-induced slips. Results Our two major results were that higher monofilament thresholds (i.e., worse plantar sensation) in older adults associated with: (1) larger anterior-posterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) MoS and increased transverse plane WBAM (p ≤ 0.031) during habitual walking, and (2) larger decreases in MoSAP, MoSML and larger increases in transverse plane WBAM in response to lateral waist pull perturbations (p ≤ 0.018). …”
