ABSTRACT Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) came into practical use as a geohazard monitoring tool in the 1990s. The uptake of this remote sensing technique …
A new hybrid discrete–continuum numerical approach that explores the key advantages of both discrete and continuum approaches is proposed to model unsaturated seepage flows …
Chemical reactions occur in geotechnical, biological and synthetic porous media. Swelling and shrinkage phenomena can be observed in clays, shales and gels, when they are in …
The design of residential foundation slabs is commonly based on standards that emphasise the structural aspects and safety of the structure. Factors related to environmental and …
Growing application of artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering has been observed; however, its ability to predict the properties and nonlinear behaviour of reactive soil is …
The need for advancements in residential construction and the hazard induced by the shrink– swell reactive soil movement prompted the development of the prefabricated footing system …
Structures built on expansive soils are susceptible to damage arising from the shrink-swell behaviour of soils. Due to this issue and the limitations of the existing methods that estimate …
Deep learning networks were employed to predict the maximum differential deflection of stiffened and waffle rafts due to reactive soil movements, Δ max. Four deep learning …
The use of precast systems reduces material wastage, decreases effect of weather impacts, cuts down unexpected costs, lessens skilled labour dependence and minimises construction …
