Abstract: Although there are many methods for assessing vertical stiffness of footings on the ground, simplified solutions to evaluate lateral, rotational, and torsional static stiffness are much more limited, particularly for ...

Abstract: The static stiffness of suction caisson foundations is an important engineering factor for offshore wind foundation design. However, existing simplified design models are mainly developed for nonlayered soil conditions, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed back-analysis of large-scale field data from suction caisson installations in complex, layered soil conditions, enhancing the understanding of caisson installation interaction through a refined ...

Abstract: An accurate estimation of the jacking forces likely to be experienced during microtunnelling is a key design concern for the structural capacity of pipe segments, the location of intermediate jacking stations, and the ...

Abstract: The proliferation of data collected by modern tunnel boring machines presents a substantial opportunity for the application of data-driven anomaly detection (AD) techniques that can adapt dynamically to site specific ...
