Abstract: The self-bearing capacity of tunnels possesses a dynamic evolution process. However, there is a limited advanced knowledge to evaluate the dynamic self-bearing capacity of tunnels quantitatively. In this paper, the ...

Abstract: In this study, a novel analytical approach is proposed to calculate the passive earth pressure against a rigid retaining wall subjected to the translation mode. Effects of arching in cohesive backfill soils as well as ...

Abstract: The render layer plays an essential role in the longevity of rammed earth constructions. A physicochemical analysis of the renders of the historical buildings of Fujian Tulou, a World Heritage site in Fujian, China, is ...

Abstract: To investigate the dynamic characteristics of the soil in seasonally frozen areas under intermittent cyclic loading, a series of dynamic triaxial tests on frozen–thawed aeolian soil were conducted by using the global digital ...

Abstract: The floor heave and the inward movement of sidewalls are often encountered in the excavation of tunnels with swelling rock properties. However, the deformation mechanism for swelling soft-rock tunnels cannot be reasonably ...
