Realistic constitutive ground models are critical in the evaluation of soil‐structure interaction
problems and the assessment of key design parameters in the seismic analysis of …

The stability of braced structures for the launch pit in pipe jacking plays a vital role in
structural safety during excavation and jacking drive. Through a deep launch pit in Foshan …

This paper presents a novel strut-free earth retaining wall system for excavation in soft clay,
referred to as the rigid and fixed diaphragm (RFD) wall retaining system. The RFD system is …

Stability analysis of retaining walls in seismic areas is generally performed by calculating a
safety factor against a possible mechanism of collapse. However, considering that limit …

This work is a numerical investigation of the effect of thermally induced volumetric collapse
of normally consolidated clays on the performance of energy piles. A series of coupled …

In recent years, much attention has been paid to performance–based design of flexible
retaining structures, focusing on the evaluation of the permanent deformations of the soil …

A new evaluation method for the dilatancy of fine-grained soils based on monotonic and
cyclic undrained triaxial tests has been established using two elasticity approaches …

This work provides a new evaluation method of the dilatancy for cohesive soils from
monotonic and cyclic undrained triaxial tests. Herein it is implemented for experiments …

An alternative approach to Modified Cam-Clay (MCC) critical state plasticity coupled with
damage is proposed. The provided hyper-elastoplastic/damage framework is motivated by a …

In this paper, a seismic and vibration reduction measure of subway station is developed by
setting a segmented isolation layer between the sidewall of structure and the diaphragm …
