Sobre a recepção de O Antigo Regime e a Revolução pela historiografia da Revolução Francesa: da publicação da obra ao contexto do Bicentenário de 1789 by José Miguel Nanni Soares

“…The purpose of this paper is to offer an overview –although summary– of The Old Regime and the Revolution by the historiography of the French Revolution, from its publication to the context of the Bicentennial celebration (1789-1989).Among other aspects, it was demonstrated how, in spite of relevant and favorable opinions from eminent historians and literary critics, the famous Tocqueville work faced serious editorial and ideological challenges in the period between June 1856 and the first centenary of its appearance.In the wake of the postwar changes of the 1950s and, to a large extent, due to the important contributions of the eminent republican and socialist historian Georges Lefebvre, Tocqueville’s historical work began to attract a growing consideration of academic historians and the general public, becoming a pivotal author in both historiography and contemporary political debate during and after the celebration of the Bicentenary of the Revolution of 1789.…”

Research on Anti-seepage Curtain Layout of a Deep Foundation Pit near the Levee by WANG Xuehong, LIU Xiaoqing, ZHANG Hui, WANG Xin, YAO Lu

“…A deep foundation pit project is located in the east of the levee at Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal.There are silt soil and silt sand layers in the bottom of the foundation pit within excavation depth,which is prone to seepage accidents,threatening the safety of the levee.Based on MIDAS GTS,this paper establishes a three-dimensional finite element simulation model according to the geological survey data,discusses the seepage situation of each excavation stage before and after adding curtain and with different lateral curtain width in detail,and analyzes the relationship between lateral curtain width and levee and foundation pit.The results show that:The seepage gradient of the two corners of the foundation pit near the levee is the largest without curtain,and the seepage damage is easy to occur near the two corners;The seepage gradient at the bottom of the intermediate curtain will slightly increase with the increase of the lateral curtain width;From the technical and economic point of view,the seepage prevention effect is obvious when the lateral curtain width is 17 m;The seepage gradient at the bottom of the intermediate curtain and at the end of the lateral curtain is large which should be paid close attention to.The research results provide an empirical reference for similar projects.…”
