The structure of a segmental joint with a load-transferring gasket is complicated and exhibits piecewise and nonlinear deformation characteristics under loads. Joint stiffness largely depends on the properties of the concrete and load-transferring gasket, which are the main components of the joint. A reasonable consideration of their influence is one way to predict the failure process of the …
This paper reports on the first large-scale project in the U.S. for utilizing water from abandoned mines for geothermal applications. This project proved the high potential of turning water in deep abandoned mines into a renewable energy resource, which is safer, greener, and more abundant than other conventional low-enthalpy geothermal applications. In this paper, a real demonstration project …
