Abstract: The cone tip resistance (

Abstract: A safety monitoring system is usually applied in deep excavations in order to control the construction risk and to ensure the serviceability of adjacent facilities. Considering the mass data collected by different sensors, ...

Abstract: To reduce ground displacements induced by dewatering and excavation in foundation engineering, it is crucial to predict the ground displacements before construction. Two types of analyses, i.e., transient analysis (TA) and ...

Abstract: Rankine pressure involves the special case of active earth pressure and merely considers the influence of the internal friction angle; however, the analytical solution for the general case involving a rough retaining wall, ...

Abstract: Analyzing product online reviews has drawn much interest in the academic field. In this research, a new probabilistic topic model, called tag sentiment aspect models (TSA), is proposed on the basis of Latent Dirichlet ...

Abstract: In this paper, based on more than ten years' studies on this dedicated research thrust, a comprehensive review concerning information mining from big consumer opinion data in order to assist product design is presented. ...

Abstract: The current analytical solutions for axisymmetric active earth pressure are based on certain hypothetical relationships between the circumferential stress, the average stress of the meridional plane, and the main shear ...

Abstract: Excavation-induced unloading effects and dewatering-induced groundwater seepage inevitably result in basal soil reverse consolidation in deep excavation. However, this reverse consolidation process is rarely considered ...
