A Solution of Subgrade Modulus for Response Displacement Method of Circular Underground Structures by Wei Wang, Kun Feng, Yunchao Wang, Chuan He, Guojin Zhu, Yu Ning, Lixiang Zhao

“…However, the existing methods neglect the interaction between the radial and tangential subgrade modulus and the influence of actual ground deformation, resulting in an inaccurate estimation. This study presents a solution to overcome these defects for the response displacement method adopted in the transverse seismic analysis of the shield tunnel with a circular cross section. …”

Jean-Baptiste Gossé, L’Europe face aux déséquilibres mondiaux : une analyse historique, théorique et empirique by Jean-Baptiste Gossé

“…Finally, we show with our theoretical model that if Europe had adopted a domestic demand-led strategy, the negative impact of global imbalances could have been avoided. The estimation of a long run relation between current account balance and budget deficit reveals that fiscal policy could have been an efficient way to deal with negative effects, especially for the small countries of the euro area.…”
