The T-bar penetrometer is extensively used in offshore field investigation and laboratory
testing to evaluate the undrained shear strength of soft clay because of its reliability and …

Earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunnelling plays a crucial role in urban infrastructure
development but faces challenges due to potential face instability. Previous studies often …

The effect of breakable particle corners is often overlooked in research on pile–soil
interaction, which hinders the understanding of the uplift pile behaviors in calcareous sand …

Large-diameter pipe piles are widely applied in various civil engineering fields due to their
outstanding load-bearing capability. The unsaturated characteristics, anisotropy, and …

The stability design of soil structures, such as retaining walls, has traditionally relied on
deterministic analyses that use averaged soil parameters. However, modern computational …

Submarine pipeline has been utilized more and more widely in offshore oil and gas
transportation engineering. Given that these pipelines frequently subject horizontal loading …

The inherent spatial variability and degradation of soil properties in soft soil foundation may
have a significant effect on cofferdam stability. To incorporate these factors into cofferdam …

Although helical piles are frequently installed at an angle to the vertical, there has been
limited investigation into how this inclination affects the pile's ability to resist pullout forces …

Marine and underwater structures, such as seawalls, piers, breakwaters, and pipelines, are
particularly susceptible to seismic events. These events can directly damage the structures …

Frost damage on infrastructure in seasonally frozen regions is mainly caused by the coupled
water-heat transfer during freeze-thaw processes. Because of complex geological …
