Abstract: The Mindlin solution is extensively utilized in the field of geotechnical engineering, including settlement computations and assessing the geoenvironmental impacts of shield tunneling and foundation pit excavation. Despite ...

Abstract: Taking into account the stratification and viscoelastic properties of unsaturated porous media, the Poynting–Thomson viscoelastic model is integrated into the Biot-type wave equations tailored for unsaturated porous media, ...

Abstract: In the process of tunnel excavation, the change of soil stress field will inevitably lead to principal stress axis rotation, which is a common but easily ignored phenomenon in shield tunneling. Therefore, it is necessary ...
