In recent decades, conventional electric instruments have already been widely used to
monitor the performance of geotechnical structures. However, there are several inherent …

Geotechnical monitoring and instrumentation play a key role to assess the safety and
performance of the geotechnical structures. Conventionally used electrical instruments …

Pressure grouting technology has been widely adopted in ground improvement and soil
stabilization. To better understand the grout evolution and diffusion process upon pressure …

Anchors are often used as anti-floating reinforcements in civil engineering structures.
However, conventional steel bars present disadvantages concerning corrosion and poor …

Abstract Structure surface normally owns highly directional properties caused by the
properties of the material and the manufacturing process. Proper understanding of soil …

An innovative compaction-grouted soil nail was designed by injecting grout into a special
latex balloon (grouting bag) to avoid bleeding and penetration of grout into the surrounding …

A series of large-scale model tests was conducted on compaction-grouted soil nails to study
the influence of the degree of saturation on the soil response to compaction grouting and …

The long-term performance of ground anchors, in particular prestressed anchors, is
influenced by the stress relaxation behavior over the soil–anchor interface. The …

The ultimate shear strength at the interface between the soil nail and surrounding soil is of
practical importance in the design and performance of a soil nail system. The most …

This study proposed a new soil nail known as the compaction-grouted soil nail, and a
physical model was established to investigate its pull-out behaviour with different grouting …
