To harness available generic geotechnical databases (i.e., the so-called big indirect data) as a supplement to sparse site-specific geotechnical data from a given site, it is crucial to first address the “site recognition challenge” (i.e., identification of sites similar to a tar ...
Several global or regional databases for various types of soils have been developed due to their importance in engineering design and analysis. However, a database is not yet available for collapsible loess in which severe geohazards often occur. In this study, a comprehensive lo ...
Although it is widely acknowledged that a three-dimensional (3D) model of geotechnical property variation is the cornerstone of underground digital twin, its adoption in practice remains limited, probably due to the scarcity of site-specific geotechnical data collected from site ...
Localized and anisotropic features extensively exist in various physical phenomena. The present work focuses on the r-adaptive parameterization technique for isogeometric analysis (IGA), which aims to acquire higher numerical accuracy while keeping the degrees of freedom constant ...
One-part alkali-activated slag (AAS) as a binder material has a promising application in the construction industry. The properties of one-part AAS incorporating agricultural wastes have been seldom studied. In this paper, the fresh and hardened properties of one-part AAS with the ...

Rapid Removal of Aromatic Micropollutants and Adsorption Mechanisms

Aromatic micropollutants found in wastewater pose threats to human health, and it is necessary to remove them from wastewater. Cyclodextrin hydrogel is one of the most promising environmentally friendly materials for removing aromatic micropollutants from wastewater by means of a ...
A biocompatible Dex-MA/PAA hydrogel was prepared through copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate substituted dextran (Dex-MA) with acrylic acid (AA), which was applied as the adsorbent to remove cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. Dex-MA/PAA hydrogel presented a fast adsorpti ...
