Study on Creep Characteristics of Expansive Soil in High-Fill Channel of South-to-North Water Transfer Project by Jianhua Guo, Zhangjun Dai, Shichang Li, Nadeem Muhammad, Hui Gao

“…It is proposed that the slope of the fitted straight line in the compression curve of the expansive soil can be used to represent the secondary consolidation coefficient of unsaturated expansive soil, and the variation law of the secondary consolidation coefficient under different environmental factors is obtained. The modified Bjerrum calculation method considering the influence of additional load and lateral deformation yields the postexpansion soil settlement curve model to determine the control index range of the project site. …”

Synergistic Effect of Multi-field Force on Condensable Particulate Matter Properties and Behavior in Flue Gas: A Case Study in a Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Plant by Wenting Liu, Bowen Zhao, Qian Feng, Zhiyong Zhou, Jianyi Lu

“…Abstract At present, filterable particulate matter (FPM) emissions from stable source flue gases are well controlled, and the more difficult to remove condensable particulate matter (CPM) has received much attention due to its environmental hazards. In this study, we built a cold electrode electrostatic precipitator (CE-ESP) and systematically investigated the removal efficiency of CPM from municipal solid waste incineration plant flue gas by CE-ESP under three different operating modes. …”
