“…Measurements of pipe deformations and circumferential strains from model experiments in which 110 mm HDPE pipes were backfilled with sand and subjected to 300 kPa of maximum vertical pressure at temperatures of 20, 60 and 80 °C showed the following results: (1) a classification of pipe behavior relative to the surrounding soil stiffness is advantageous for HDPE pipe design; (2) when temperature increases to 60 °C and 80 °C, the strain distribution around the pipe changes from V-shaped to U-shaped, and the pipe deformation profile changes from elliptical to rectangular; (3) when temperature increases from 20 °C to 60 °C, the vertical and horizontal pipe deflections increase by a factor of 1.08~1.19; (4) when temperature increases from 60 °C to 80 °C, the vertical and horizontal pipe deflections increase by a factor of 1.15~1.31; and (5) the existing analytical method that considers two extreme interfaces can capture the deformations measured in the model test well. …”

“…However, it also plays various ecological roles, such as wind protection and sand fixation. Here, we used an optimized MaxEnt model to predict the distribution of suitable habitat of A. variabilis under current (1970–2000) conditions and future (2021–2080) climate change scenarios based on recent occurrence records. …”
