Abstract: This study depicts a scenario where vulnerability to soil liquefaction leads to the deterioration of a city-scale traffic system shortly after an earthquake. A novel framework for evaluating city-scale traffic performance ...

Abstract: Focusing on three-dimensional finite-element analysis (FEA) for the assessment and optimization of reinforcement treatment using deep soil-mixing and umbrella vault methods to stabilize a cross-passage excavation in soft ...

Abstract: Compaction grouting is widely used for ground improvement, including foundation retrofitting, earthquake disaster mitigation, and settlement compensation. However, until now, it has been developed and used based on an ...

Abstract: A prediction model of gearbox power loss based on dimensionless analysis is proposed. First, the dimensional model of gearbox power loss is established based on similarity criterion, dimensional harmony principle, and fluid ...

Abstract: Air entrapment in soil is common in cases of farmland flood irrigation or intense rain. A simple, physically based model would be more useful than the complex two-phase (gaseous and liquid phase) flow model to describe ...

Abstract: This paper compiles a database consisting of 16 tunnel excavation projects in clayey soils using the earth pressure balance (EPB) tunneling method. Statistical analysis of the data is performed and the probability distributions ...
