The study of strip footings and their interaction on soil addresses a crucial aspect of foundation engineering: the optimisation of load distribution and structural stability.

The global supply of heavy rare earths hinges in part on the outcome of a months-long battle between a rebel army and the Chinese-backed military junta in the hills of northern Myanmar.

Rebuilding Terminal 1 in a seismic zone? Here’s how San Diego International Airport tackled earthquake risks head-on.

Judge blocks Trump’s early termination of temporary protections for Haitian immigrants But the Supreme Court previously allowed the administration to quickly end similar protections for Venezuelans.

This leads to a non-linear distribution of earth pressures behind the wall, and the total lateral earth pressure is less than that predicted through conventional methods [8, 9]. The results of field ...
