SLIP SURFACE IN NARROW BACKFILL BEHIND RETAINING WALL

Slip surface in narrow backfill behind retaining wall

For a particular area in Geotechnical engineering, a soil slope is defined as a surface of soil mass which is inclined.It the slope is unstable or has insufficient factor of safety, then it needs to be strengthened by a retaining wall or a particular earth reinforcement to ensue slope failure does not occur.It has long been known that the pattern o

Bark tissue transcriptome analyses of inverted Populus yunnanensis cuttings reveal the crucial role of plant hormones in response to inversion

Inverted cuttings of Populus yunnanensis exhibit an interesting growth response to inversion.This response is characterized by enlargement of the stem above the shoot site, while the upright stem shows obvious outward growth below the shoot site.In this study, we examined transcriptome changes in bark tissue at four positions on upright and inverte
