Abstract: A three-dimensional, elasto-plastic, coupled-consolidation numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of an advancing open face tunnel excavation on an existing, loaded pile. Based on the ground conditions, ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of ground-surface settlement adjacent to an excavation is often difficult to achieve without using accurate representation of small-strain nonlinearity in a soil model within finite-element analyses. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the excavation-induced settlement determined by the KJHH model, a recently developed semiempirical model, is used to assess the serviceability reliability of adjacent buildings. The calculated settlement, ...

Abstract: January 1977 was a month noted for its extraordinary weather over North America. The winter was dominated by two persistent large amplitude ridges positioned over the west coast of North America and the Icelandic region ...
