Excavation nearby an existing tunnel is frequently encountered in underground construction,
especially in congested urban areas. Essentially, the responses of the ground and existing …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) may provide a new methodology to directly learn from raw
data to develop constitutive models for soils by using pure mathematic skills. It has …

This study presents an improved trapezoidal fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to
assess the risk of mega-city infrastructures related to land subsidence. The trapezoidal fuzzy …

A comparative study of optimization techniques for identifying soil parameters in
geotechnical engineering was first presented. The identification methodology with its 3 main …

Long-term settlement issues in engineering practice are controlled by the creep index, C α,
but current empirical models of C α are not sufficiently reliable. In a departure from previous …

The existing longitudinal structural model of shield tunnels usually simplify the tunnel as a
Euler-Bernoulli beam on elastic foundation, which ignores the shearing dislocation between …

The installation of jet-grouted columns in soft ground can induce lateral displacement
resulting from injection of a great amount of water and grout into the ground, which may then …

Soft structured clays usually exhibit complex behaviors, which can lead to difficulties in the
determination of parameters and high testing costs. This paper aims to propose an efficient …

This case study presents an investigation on building settlement induced by dewatering for a
deep excavation constructed in a deposit in Tian**, China. The excavation site is located in …

This paper proposed a series of simple equations to calculate the head difference at the two
sides of waterproof curtain. The barrier effect of waterproof curtain is considered from two …
