Site characterization, which aims to characterize the subsurface stratigraphic configuration
and the associated geo-properties, has long been a significant challenge in geological and …

Geological uncertainty is common in nature due to complex depositional processes as one
layer appears to be randomly embedded in neighbouring layers. However, the geo …

The basal heave stability of supported excavations is an essential problem in geotechnical
engineering. This paper considers the probabilistic analysis of basal heave stability of …

Nowadays, it is commonplace for geological surveys to integrate multi-source geophysical
data and drilling data in order to construct three-dimensional (3D) lithological models. In this …

Due to the inherent spatial variability of the geological bodies, limited boreholes
(constrained by budget), and data interpretation errors, the subsurface conditions (in terms …

Sustainable development goals for site-specific and customized design have brought needs
to assess and quantify the stratigraphic uncertainty in three-dimensional (3D) modelling. The …

Rockhead profile is an important part of geological profiles and can have significant impacts
on some geotechnical engineering practice, and thus, it is necessary to establish a useful …

Consolidation analysis is a key task for reclamation design. Although consolidation is a long-
term process, acceleration of consolidation is often preferred for speeding up the …

Stratigraphic modeling with quantified uncertainty is an open question in engineering
geology. In this study, a novel stratigraphic stochastic simulation approach is developed by …

Conventional site investigation schemes typically use an empirical sampling strategy, which
involves equal sampling spacing with regular grid patterns. However, this approach assigns …
