Abstract: An inverse analysis procedure that uses construction monitoring data to update predictions of deformations for supported excavation systems is presented. The numerical procedure is used to optimize the finite element model ...

Abstract: Active slow-moving landslides in clayey soils exhibit continuous movements generally controlled both in the accelerating and decelerating phases by the pore-water pressure regime that, in turn, is strictly correlated to ...

Abstract: The performance of an excavation support system for a subway station renovation project in Chicago and its effects on an adjacent, shallow-foundation supported building are presented. The 13-m-deep excavation was made ...

Abstract: Flowslides and retrogressive slope failures are usually triggered from a significant drop of shear strength in loose coarse-grained materials, including static liquefaction and successive large deformations. A 4-step ...
