Although Cu 3D structures are widely used in electrocatalytic practice, this electrode has not been studied enough in relation to the electrochemical transformation of CO2 to C2 products. Cu foam samples were deposited from acidic solutions with vary...

Voids behind tunnel linings are common hidden defects in underground engineering, leading to reduced structural capacity and potential safety hazards. To address the deficiencies in the understanding of the mechanism and the optimization of design of...

In this study, an effective diatomaceous earth (Dia)/octadecyltriethoxysilane (OTS)/epoxy resin (EP) with enhanced superhydrophobic and self-cleaning coating was prepared by spraying method, and the effect of OTS modification on the hydrophobicity of...

Calcareous sand, characterized by numerous pore spaces, easy fragmentation, and low strength, is commonly used as fill material in island construction projects. Due to these limitations, it often fails to meet the requirements of actual engineering a...

This study investigated the potential use of fluorine-containing semiconductor industrial sludge as a mineralizer in Portland cement clinker production. Raw mixes were prepared by partially replacing raw materials with 6%, 9%, and 12% sludge and sint...

The present study concentrates on the role and underlying mechanisms of in situ crystallization (employed for nanocrystal formation) in influencing the solidification microstructure and properties of aluminum alloys. By systematically analyzing the e...

This study aimed to optimize the grain structure of complex thin-walled nickel-based superalloy castings by investigating the influence of key casting parameters using both cellular automaton–finite element (CAFE) simulations and experimental v...

By monitoring the alternating interference voltage at the intersections and parallels of gas pipelines with high-speed railways, the alternating voltage between the high-speed railway track supports and the ground, the alternating ground voltage grad...

This study explores the integration of copper oxide (Cu2O) into bitumen and leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to evaluate and optimize the binder’s performance across multiple scales. Comprehensive laboratory tests, including conventional...

This study investigates the permeability performance and engineering performance of porous asphalt concrete (PAC) mixtures. PAC-10 and PAC-13 mixture specimens with various porosities were prepared. The relationships among porosity, effective porosit...
