Failure Risk of Metro Stations During Unilateral Large-Scale Excavation: A Geotechnical Perspective
Introduction The stability of existing metro stations under nearby construction is a critical concern for urban infrastructure. When unilateral large-scale excavation occurs adjacent to underground transit facilities, the surrounding soil-structure system experiences complex stress changes that can elevate the risk of station or tunnel failure. This article synthesizes findings from experimental studies and finite element…

Remote volcano wakes up after 700,000 years of silence
New Signs from a Distant Volcano A remote volcano in southeastern Iran has begun to show measurable movement after an almost unfathomable stretch of dormancy — about 700,000 years. In the latest 10-month window, the summit has nudged upward by roughly 9 centimeters (about 3.5 inches). While that rise may seem modest, scientists say it…

Remote Iranian Volcano Awakens: A 700,000-Year Silence Ends
Summary: A Quiet Giant Wakes A volcano in southeastern Iran has shown measurable uplift after nearly 700,000 years of dormancy. Using satellite data, researchers have detected a rise of about 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) over ten months. While the movement might seem modest, it signals potential pressure changes beneath the surface, prompting scientists to monitor…
