There are typically three types of models involved in a geotechnical analysis, ie, the
geologic model, the ground model, and the geotechnical model, each of which may be …

Spudcans are large diameter (~ 20 m) conical foundations holding up mobile jack-up
platforms for offshore oil and gas developments in shallow to moderate water depths. During …

As verified structures for landslide mitigation, stabilizing piles are often adopted to treat local
failure zones of width-limited soil slopes. To achieve a balance between slope safety and …

Because of the inherent spatial variability of soil properties and the limited number of
boreholes that can be afforded in a typical project, the soil properties at given geotechnical …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of copulas for constructing the bivariate
distribution of shear strength parameters on system reliability of geotechnical structures …

This study demonstrates a parametric approach to optimize solar access for high-rise
residential buildings in urban tropics. Using parametric modelling, 75 urban contexts were …

Six population-based hybrid algorithms are applied to train the multilayer perceptron (MLP)
to improve the classification accuracy, in the stability assessment. A complex problem of …

The design of geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments is
traditionally optimized by searching for the most cost-effective solution among several …

Drainage is a critical and cost-effective method to stabilize rainfall-induced landslide. In
order to improve the efficiency and sustainability of drainage system, a new siphon drainage …

This paper aims to propose a bootstrap method for characterizing the effect of uncertainty in
shear strength parameters on slope reliability. The procedure for a traditional slope reliability …
