    Abstract: Shallow tunnels are often subject to settlement, which can compromise the performance and safety of underground structures. This is especially relevant for developing cities that need to construct tunnels for transportation infrastructure projects. This study examines the settlement behavior of shallow tunnels through numerical simulations using th... Show More

    Abstract: Crop growth models like AquaCrop maximize crop output and water use efficiency by forecasting agricultural indicators including crop yield, dry biomass, and water productivity. This study not only validated and calibrated the AquaCrop model, but also investigated the effects of deficit irrigation on wheat yield and water productivity. The experimen... Show More
