A Comprehensive Analysis for the Heterogeneous Effects on Driver Injury Severity in Single-Vehicle Passenger Car and SUV Rollover Crashes by Huiying Wen, Zuogan Tang, Yuchen Zeng, Kexiong Zhang

“…Model estimation results show that six variables (male drivers, drivers’ age, airbag deployment, failure to drive in single lane, speed limit, and rural area) were found to produce normally distributed parameters in passenger car model, while nine parameters (male drivers, safety belt use, airbag deployment, drug or alcohol use, failure to drive in single lane, improper evasive action, vehicle model year, friday, and rural area) in SUV model were found to be normally distributed. …”

Research on the Influence of Groundwater in Coastal Areas on the Stress and Deformation Characteristics of Integrated Pipe Gallery by Yuanyuan Tian, Qingbiao Wang, Zhongjing Hu, Shuo Yang, Chuanxiong Peng, Xu Zhang, Zhongying Li, Xugang Wang

“…Due to the effect of the effective stress, the Mises stress on the side wall shows a decreasing trend. (2) Due to the influence of the construction form of the cross-section interface, the maximum principal stress of each part of the M side is always smaller than that of the N side; with the continuous increase of groundwater level, the maximum principal stress at each part of the N and M sides of the pipe gallery structure joint gradually increases. (3) The overall structure of the pipe gallery floats up. Under the action of the buoyancy force, the bottom plate moves upward, and the surface displacement rises continuously with the rise of the groundwater level. (4) When the groundwater depth is the same, the analysis of the test results and the numerical simulation calculation results are basically consistent, which further verifies the validity of the numerical simulation calculation and has reference value. (5) The engineering example shows that in order to reduce the service life of the integrated pipe gallery, the impact of groundwater on the integrated pipe gallery cannot be ignored.…”
