Metal-soil interface adhesion in clay clogging during shield tunneling: Theoretical model and experimental validation

Clogging is a major geohazards risk in mechanized tunnelling through cohesive soils.Clay clogging results from the high adhesion between the clay and metal.Based on the water film theory and Reynolds fluid equation, the interfacial adhesion between metal and soil is simplified in this study as viscous hydrodynamic behavior between planes.Considerin

Modelling Tap Water Consumer Ratio

Increasing population and the rising air temperatures are known as factors that cause water depletion in the watersheds.Therefore, it is important to accurately predict the future ratios of tap water consumers using the same watershed to the population living in the specified area, to produce better water policies and to take the necessary measures
