Sea caves are a type of cave formed primarily by the wave action of the sea. The coastal scenery of the Gozitan coast is very interesting in that sea caves and other coastal landforms, such as sea arches, develop at the sea level. We mapped seventy-nine ...

The primary support structure of a tunnel often needs various support methods, such as bolts, steel arch frames, and shotcrete. It is of great significance to quickly calculate the displacement of tunnel walls and the bearing capacity of primary supports...

The self-balanced pressure arch theory is an important basis for excavation support in karst caves, but it is difficult to quantify the empirical theory in coastal areas. In addition, the rheological effects of karst strata could pose a hazard to enginee...

Domes, vaults and arches are structural components of high vulnerability, due to the horizontal component of the thrust they impose to the supporting vertical elements (piers or walls), accentuated by the asymmetry of loading due to seismic actions. In o...

Unreinforced masonry structures are susceptible to man-made hazards such as impact and blast loading. However, the literature on this subject mainly focuses on masonry wall behavior, and there is a knowledge gap about the behavior of masonry arches under...
