Abstract: Many constitutive models have been proposed to describe the mechanical behavior of cemented soil at large strains (above 1%). Less attention has been paid to the highly nonlinear stress–strain behavior at small strains, ...

Abstract: The deep cement mixing (DCM) method is widely used for ground improvement, with soils within DCM columns often subjected to varying curing temperatures (Tc) and curing stresses (Sc). Their effects on shear stiffness at ...

Abstract: The classification and real-time identification of surrounding rock grades are of great significance to guide tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction. Taking a water diversion project in China as the background, this study ...
