Abstract: The consolidation of Hong Kong marine deposits (HKMDs), a typical soft clayey soil in Hong Kong, is a serious concern in engineering practices, such as coastal embankment construction and marine reclamations. Previous ...

Abstract: Temperature significantly affects the mechanical properties of geomaterials, particularly the creep behavior of soft clayey soils. Thus, an appropriate constitutive model to describe the time-dependent stress-strain behavior ...

Abstract: Pile foundations supporting high-rise buildings are generally subject to cyclic loading because of dynamic loading. The corrosion of steel materials in pile foundations is another major concern, especially for piles in a ...

Abstract: Traditional pile foundations in harsh marine environment may experience steel corrosion or concrete deterioration. Besides, conventional measuring devices such as strain gauges and vibrating wire extensometers are sensitive ...
