Effects of Partial Supporting Pile Removal from Deep Foundation Pits by Shallow Excavation Method in Loess Areas by Yunxin Zheng, Zhiping Hu, Xiang Ren, Rui Wang, Enxiang Zhang, Zhao Long

“…Various studies have investigated the underpinning technology of cutting abutment piles by combining field monitoring and numerical simulation, but there are few studies on cutting supporting piles of foundation pit by the shallow excavation method. Taking an actual deep and large foundation pit as an example, the finite element method (FEM) was adopted to study the surface settlement and the changing trend of the force and displacement of the supporting pile caused by cutting piles during the shallow excavation of double tunnels. …”

Infectious diseases prevention and control with reduced energy consumption in an airport by Tingrui Hu, Shujia Shang, Jingchao Xie, Ying Ji, Peng Xue, Nan Zhang

“…This study developed an infection risk-human comfort-energy consumption model to calculate the COVID-19 transmission and energy consumption for epidemic prevention and control in seven different functional areas of an airport during different seasons (winter, summer, and transition season) and actual passenger movement. When considering dynamic passenger flow, the energy consumption needed to prevent and control transmission of the epidemic in each area of the airport could be reduced by 71–85 %. …”
