From disagreement to rupture: the Soviet-Albanian conflict of 1960-1961 by K. K. Khudoley

“…Key findings include: 1) The conflict's primary catalysts were the divergent socialist models adopted by the USSR and Albania, coupled with the disparity in interests between the superpower and the bloc's smallest member; 2) The PLA's reluctance to conform to Soviet-style reforms was construed in Moscow as a challenge to the CPSU's hegemony within the global communist movement, while the PLA leadership viewed them as encroachments on its authority; 3) Disagreements pervaded all spheres, with ideology assuming heightened significance compared to conflicts with Yugoslavia; 4) External influences on the conflict's trajectory were marginal, with developments driven by internal dynamics, including Tirana's increasing alienation from the CPSU and the catalytic effect of deteriorating Soviet-Chinese relations; Western powers monitored events closely but refrained from direct intervention; 5) While objective factors underpinned the Soviet-Albanian discord, subjective elements were of secondary importance, yet pivotal in precipitating the conflict's acrimonious turn.…”

Model Test on the Behaviors of Deep Excavation with Lateral Confined Water by Mingyuan Wang, Minyun Hu, Chaohua Li, Xiaobing Xu, Zefeng Ye, Qi Hu

“…To investigate the excavation characteristics and mechanisms of a deep foundation under lateral confined water pressure, a model test was conducted with real-time monitoring of the stress and deformation of the foundation strut system. The results indicate that in stages 1 and 3 (the process of raising the lateral confined water level, O and F), the rise in lateral confined water levels caused the diaphragm wall to shift inward. …”
