There are currently at least five aircraft runways built on the reclaimed coral sand foundations in South China Sea (SCS). The seismic dynamics and stability of revetment breakwaters nearby lands with SCS deserve attention. Taking reclamation engineering as background, this study performed several centrifuge shaking table tests (N = 50 g) to explore a breakwater runway foundation. It is reveale...

River-riparian interfaces (RRIs) of urban rivers are where river ecosystems interact with the riparian soil ecosystems. However, intensification urbanization, construction various revetments changes energy exchange process between and RRI, affects properties, then bacterial community composition structure. In this study, natural (NR), permeable (PR), impervious (IR) same section were selected. ...

Even under current sea level conditions, many communities are working to protect their coastlines against flooding and shoreline erosion. Coastal often shorelines excessive erosion by using armoring techniques (e.g., bulkheads, riprap). Yet hardened structures reduce of the natural adaptive mechanisms present in coastal ecosystems sustainability system. In contrast, nature-based features living...
