Abstract A growing number of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) has been advocated for urban flood risk management (FRM). However, whether NbS FRM (NbS-FRM) achieves both social and ecological co-benefits remains largely unknown. We here propose use a conceptual framework with coupled social-ecological perspective to explore identify such “win-win” potential in NbS-FRM. Through scoping-review we find that measures are unevenly distributed around the world, those solely targeting mitigation may...
Dynamics of the terrestrial water surface impact hydrological connectivity. Compared with traditionally deployed parameters, changes in water-boundary more effectively account for dynamics and depth resulting from variations. However, previous studies connectivity generally applied only length or width parameters using center line body therefore fail to fully capture boundary dynamics. In this study, optimized extraction indices based on data obtained remote sensing imagery are used develop...
Abstract Facing climate change and rapid urbanization, urban flooding has exposed human properties to increasing disaster risks. The attention from researchers decision‐makers understand the key role of flood regulation service (FRS) in management arisen. However, mechanism FRS supply–demand is little known landscape scale. assessment methodology considering interacts between source, sink, flow was proposed this study. spatial distributions surface runoff generation, reduction capacity,...
Given the reality of climate-driven migration, net effectiveness existing spatially fixed protected areas (PAs) to biodiversity conservation is expected decline, while potential non-PA habitats (non-PAs, i.e., natural, altered, or artificial ecosystems that are not formally designated as PAs) for gaining attention. However, contribution non-PAs remains poorly understood. With aim comprehensively assessing transient refugia and steppingstones during future climate-change-induced migration...
For shear tests of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, a simply supported and symmetrical loading system is usually applied. In deterministic analysis, capacities the paired spans such beams are same. However, considering randomness strength, geometric dimension, other factors, failure often occurs in weaker one beam rather than occurring two simultaneously. Therefore, from perspective probability theory, symmetrically loaded can be regarded as random variables with same distribution. The...
Abstract People-nature interdependencies in the social-ecological system (SES) are fundamental to coping with urban flood risks. Nature-based solutions (NbS), a holistic tool considering people-nature interdependencies, have been advocated widely for risk management (FRM). However, how NbS has used from SES perspectives FRM is still not well elaborated, which refers contribute factors, processes, and effects? what approaches may support design, implementation, governance? Therefore, this...
According to the requirements of design and construction rules for mechanical components pressurized water reactor nuclear islands, primary hydrostatic test must be carried out before after operation power plant. The overpressure protection system is used prevent accidental circuit during test, alleviate serious consequences on involved equipment. equipment selection third generation plants are much different from that second ones. In addition, too late have reference experience. Based...
This study focuses on the shear serviceability of simple and continuous reinforced concrete deep beams. The test results 81 beams (i.e., simply supported single-span beams) 29 beams, for which their diagonal tension cracking loads were reported, collected from existing studies. On this basis, mechanism is discussed, four models are evaluated. evaluation show fail to accurately reflect influences main design parameters (including span-to-effective depth ratio tensile reinforcement ratio)...
