It represents a usefulmix of theoretical developments, testing and practical applications.We present in the following brief details in the papers, alphabeticallyin accordance with the last name of the first author.Barla presents a review of tunneling techniques with emphasison the full-face method combining full-face excavation and facereinforcement by means of fiber-glass elements with a yieldcontrolsupport. This method has been used successfully in difficultgeologic conditions, and for a wide spectrum of ground situations.The validation of the method with respect to the Saint Martin LaPorte access adit along the LyoneTurin Base tunnel experiencingseverely squeezing conditions during excavation is also includedin the paper. The numerical modeling with consideration of therock mass time-dependent behavior showed a satisfactory agreementwith monitoring results.展开更多

Powders prepared under different fuel combustion conditions were investigated by XRD and TEM. The results show that, under slightly rich fuel condition, the product powders contain less impurity phases, and powders prepared by the glycine-nitrate combustion contain far less impurity phases and have smaller particle sizes than those prepared by solid-state reaction method or acrylamide polymerization technique.展开更多
