Abstract: Reinforcement solutions can ensure that low geosynthetic-reinforced (LGR) embankments progressively subside instead of suddenly failing due to void collapse, which provides an early warning to allow surface refilling to ...

Abstract: During excavation unloading, highly stressed rock masses at great depth exhibit failure modes with different scales, for instance, zonal disintegration, rockbursts, and super-low friction. The root cause of the failure ...

Abstract: As continental shale oil is explored and developed on a larger scale, its high starting pressure gradient in the shale matrix poses challenges for flow. This paper investigates the effect of imbibition development and the ...
