Shielding effects have a significant influence on the estimation of soil displacements for jacked piles, which have received minimal attention in previous studies. To include the shielding effects, a novel model was established for the soil compacting displacements of two jacked piles based on the strain path method and the source–sink method. The corresponding closed-form analytical expressions were also derived. Soil compacting displacements were calculated using the proposed method and the previous method, which disregard the shielding effects. The results showed that the soil displacements obtained based on the shielding effects are larger than those obtained when the effects are disregarded in the frontal direction, whereas the opposite results are obtained in the dorsal direction. The shielding effects have significant influence on the soil displacements in the frontal direction and those in the dorsal direction. Consequently, shielding effects should be included in the calculations of soil compacting displacements in the frontal and dorsal directions. An in situ test was also performed to investigate the reasonability of the proposed approach. Computed displacements were compared with the measured data. The results showed that the proposed model effectively predicts practical displacements, which demonstrates the validity of the proposed model. Further research is needed to verify the practicality of the described method.
Two types of Hepialus larvae with different diets were distinguished in the Sejila Mountain, Tibetan Plateau based on the stable carbon isotope
data of the host Hepialus larva of Cordyceps sinensis and its closely adjacent tender plant roots and humus fractions. Type I is the larva chiefly fed by soil humus, and characterized
by the δ 13C values of −22.6‰ to −23.4‰, and more than −23.4‰ in its heads. Type II is the larva chiefly fed by tender plant roots, and
characterized by the δ 13C values of −24.6‰ to −27.6‰, and less than −24.6‰ in its heads. Our result has exceeded the traditional understanding that
their food sources only come from the tender plant roots, and may provide evidence for choosing cheap and high-quality foods
and further establishing artificial habitats in their large-scale reproduction.

The Ailaoshan poly-metallic mineralization concentrated area (MCA) consists of the well known Ailaoshan metallogenic belt and adjacent mineral districts and/or deposits. Located in an area of several complex and intersecting tectonic units, the Ailaoshan poly-metallic MCA is controlled by deep crustal and mantle tectonism. Through interpretation of remote sensing images, we identified a large ring structure system that surrounds the MCA. This ring structure encloses regional deep-crustal faults, ductile she... 相似文献
