Abstract: Grouted soil nails are widely used in slope stabilization. The influence of both grouting pressure and overburden stress on the soil-nail pullout interface shear resistance is still not well understood due to the complex ...

Abstract: This study assesses the one-dimensional (1D) consolidation of unsaturated soil subjected to time-dependent loading based on the 1D consolidation theories of unsaturated soil. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is ...

Abstract: The mechanical reinforcement effect of roots on soil shear strength is widely recognized and can be used in slope stability analyses based on the limit equilibrium or finite-element method. Although some advanced root ...

Abstract: When tunneling with a tunnel boring machine (TBM) in permeable soil, excess pore-water pressure are inevitably generated in the soil surrounding the TBM. Because excess pore-water pressure reduce the effective face support ...

Abstract: Partially saturated soils are commonly encountered in practice. To facilitate the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, it is important to estimate the dissipation of partially saturated soils reasonably, especially ...

Abstract: The infiltration of slurry in granular media plays an important role in face stability during slurry shield tunneling. This study investigates the effect of slurry viscosity in Fujian standard sand through a series of ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a physics-informed neural networks algorithm that integrates a simplified physical model and neural networks for the settlement analysis and prediction of the immersed tunnel of the Hong ...

Abstract: This paper describes a simplified analytical method that considers postinstallation normal stress, normal stress due to soil dilation, and grouting pressure when calculating the maximum shear stress of the nail-soil ...

Abstract: The pullout resistance of soil nail is a key parameter in soil nailing design. Pullout resistance is affected by many factors, such as overburden pressure, grouting pressure, soil dilation, and degree of saturation of soil. ...

Abstract: The vesicular structure of volcanic rocks may disrupt the fluid flow in fractures and make the mechanism of fracture flow more complicated. This study evaluated the characteristics of fracture flow associated with vesicular ...
