Porous materials and structures, such as subterranean fire ant nests, are abundant in
nature. It is hypothesized that these structures likely have evolved biological adaptations that …

Due to the complexity of construction sequence and the extended duration required to
construct super large section tunnels, the selection of excavation method critically influences …

This study aims to investigate the responses of shield tunnel structures subjected to
disturbances caused by bilateral pit excavation, and it systematically reveals for the first time …

Porous materials and structures, such as subterranean fire ant nests, are common in nature.
It is hypothesized that biological processes likely evolved these structures to enhance …

Ants are well-known for their roles in ecosystem engineering and for providing multiple
ecosystem services. In the past, these two roles have mainly been studied independently …
