Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing through a multiborehole cluster is a crucial technology for the enhancement of shale gas reservoir production. However, the impact of borehole interference and in situ stress on hydraulic fracturing ...

Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional discrete numerical analysis associated with the interaction of geogrid and surrounding soils in geogrid-reinforced sand foundations under strip footing. After validating the numerical ...

Abstract: The trapdoor/trapdoor-like model test has been widely utilized to investigate the evolution of soil arching. However, the primary focus of previous studies has been on the mechanical and deformation behaviors of the arching ...
