Summary: This article describes the settlement performance of an immersed tunnel in the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge transportation project. It presents the geological profile underlying the tunnel and introduces the corresponding field monitoring system. The function of semi-rigid elements is analyzed. The observed results related to longitudinal deformation patterns during construction, such as long-term settlement, differential settlement, and structural behavior, are described and analyzed. Differential settlement occurred due to variations in soil properties, joints of adjacent elements, and different segments of the same element, both longitudinally and transversely. During the operational period, permanent settlement was strongly influenced by back-silting, while transient settlement related to elastic deformation may have been caused by tide loading and immersion of adjacent elements, but tide loading had less influence on permanent settlement.

Summary: This study examined the risky behaviours of bus drivers and explored the factors contributing to these behaviours. The results showed that warnings for safety distance, lane departure, forward collision, and distraction were more likely to occur on weekdays, and specific time periods and factors such as speed and acceleration also had a significant impact on risky behaviours.

Summary: The present study introduces a suitable GNSS positioning model for monitoring long-span bridge deformations and enhances the performance by using a multipath mitigation technique. A model called ambiguity-fixed ionosphere-weighted PPP-RTK is developed to provide real-time high-precision positioning service for monitoring long-span bridge deformations. Additionally, a multipath model is established for GPS and BDS (GEO/IGSO/MEO) in space to mitigate multipath effects. Experimental results demonstrate that using PPP-RTK for long-span bridge deformation monitoring is effective and the multi-constellation multipath model significantly improves performance.

Summary: This study investigates the vibratory penetration of large-diameter steel cylinders in the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB). Based on geological surveys, field monitoring, and drivability analysis, the vibratory penetration rate, installation accuracy, and dynamic responses of the steel cylinders at both the eastern and western artificial islands are analyzed. A modified method is proposed to calculate the vibratory soil resistance for open-ended thin-wall cylinders under unplugged conditions to consider the scale effects and provide more accurate results for engineering practice.

Summary: In this paper, the deformation characteristics of segmental joints in an immersed tunnel structure were studied through model testing. It was found that increased back-silting load led to increased settlement and expansion of the segment joints, while the application of prestress effectively restrained settlement and expansion. The reliability of the model test was verified through numerical analysis using a finite element model.

Summary: Under severe competition and pressures from regulations and stakeholders, firms need to adopt ecologically sustainable business practices to gain legitimacy and maintain competitive advantage. This article investigates how access to successful peers' information influences firms' engagement in green innovation, integrating information-based imitation and rivalry-based imitation theories. Using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2007 to 2017, the study finds that firms are likely to imitate successful peers' green innovation behavior, especially when they have high directors' network centrality or are geographically close. These findings contribute to the understanding of firms' imitation behavior and highlight the significance of information accessibility in promoting organizational homogenization.

Summary: The study develops a theoretical framework on how foreign competition and other environmental factors influence a firm's internationalization pace. It differentiates between market scope and international commitment, finding that foreign competition has a positive effect on market scope pace and a negative effect on international commitment pace. Industry dynamism strengthens the positive effect of foreign competition on market scope, while industry munificence weakens the negative effect on international commitment.
