Abstract Machine learning (ML) may provide a new methodology to directly learn from raw
data to develop constitutive models for soils by using pure mathematic skills. It has …

The jet grouting technique was originally initiated in the UK and progressively developed
following the needs for larger geometries, ease of implementation, economic rationality, and …

A comparative study of optimization techniques for identifying soil parameters in
geotechnical engineering was first presented. The identification methodology with its 3 main …

Shield tunnels in soft deposits are often subjected to differential settlement and longitudinal
structural deformation during long-term operation. Since the shear stiffness in circumferential …

Long-term settlement issues in engineering practice are controlled by the creep index, C α,
but current empirical models of C α are not sufficiently reliable. In a departure from previous …

The existing longitudinal structural model of shield tunnels usually simplify the tunnel as a
Euler-Bernoulli beam on elastic foundation, which ignores the shearing dislocation between …

Soft structured clays usually exhibit complex behaviors, which can lead to difficulties in the
determination of parameters and high testing costs. This paper aims to propose an efficient …

This case study presents an investigation on building settlement induced by dewatering for a
deep excavation constructed in a deposit in Tianjin, China. The excavation site is located in …

This paper proposed a series of simple equations to calculate the head difference at the two
sides of waterproof curtain. The barrier effect of waterproof curtain is considered from two …

This paper proposed an analytical solution to investigate the response of an existing tunnel
induced by new tunnel excavation underneath. A Timoshenko beam lying on a Kerr …
