The macroscopic phenomena and microscopic origin of penetrative migration and retention
of fine particles in porous skeleton under the action of seepage are not yet clear. Migrating …

Seepage induced by the difference of hydraulic head between the ground and the shield's
chamber will adversely affect the stability of tunnel face when tunnels are excavated through …

Filter layers are extensively employed in dam structures as a mitigation method against
internal erosion, which facilitates the interlocking and clogging of the suffused base soil due …

The stability of the tunnel face has been an important issue investigated by many scholars.

Submarine landslides constitute a crucial area of interest in the fields of geotechnical and
oceanic research. These events are often simplified as a granular collapse process that …

With progressive advancements in slurry shield tunneling, increasingly larger tunnels are
being constructed beneath shallow covering layers, leading to smaller cover-span ratios. If …

Interfacial seepage on soil-structure interface is common in water-related engineering, such
