In the literature, the plane-strain assumption usually forms the basis of inverse analyses of
excavations, mainly due to the high computational cost of 3D analyses. In this paper, a …

In a geotechnical excavation, back analyses are routinely performed using the measured
field responses to derive the material parameter values for the different soil layers present at …

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a hybrid experimental–digital technique that allows for
the noncontact measurement of the displacements and strains in granular media. It has seen …

The mining industry plays a crucial role in the global economic development, highlighting
the importance of a continuous evaluation in the physical stability of tailings deposits. All the …

Rigorous back analysis plays a major role in providing information to engineers for better
decision-making. Most research on this topic has focused on optimization techniques …
