Abstract: Ocean energy converters (OECs) are becoming a more popular source of electricity generated from the ocean. The main obstacle associated with the use of OECs is their high initial installation cost. In light of this, ...

Abstract: With increasing demand for sustainable underground infrastructure and pressure to reduce embodied carbon (EC), microtunneling (MT) has become an increasingly popular trenchless method of installing buried utility tunnels. ...

Abstract: The development of underground spaces inevitably poses significant risks to nearby infrastructure due to construction-induced ground displacements. While our understanding of tunnel-induced ground movements is now relatively ...

Abstract: In this study, finite-element (FE) modeling was used to examine the influence of biaxial lateral loading of a monopile foundation. Two different soil models were adopted to investigate the influence of state-dependent and ...

Abstract: In this paper, predictions of pile settlement determined by appropriate superposition of two-pile interaction factors are compared with those computed from continuum analysis. A finite-element package is used in conjunction ...

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 ...

Abstract: The cavity expansion approach has been a popular tool to interpret a wide range of geotechnical problems over the last several decades. Most previous research focused on the expansion of cylindrical and/or spherical cavities, ...

Abstract: Rigorous modeling of the stress-induced anisotropy of soils with different stress histories and loading conditions typically requires advanced constitutive models. However, calibration of state-of-the-art constitutive ...

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, ...
