Tunnelling-induced ground surface settlements can be described by a Gaussian distribution
curve with two key factors; the displacement trough width and the volume loss. In most cases …

The study employs computer vision technology to pose a new type of optical instrument
composited of the Raspberry Pi, digital cameras and chessboards for structural settlement …

Reservoir operations can induce massive landslides due to the regional hydraulic effects,
where pile reinforcement is a widely used stabilization method. The 1-g physical modeling is …

Reverse fault deformation can cause severe damages of structures built on shallow
foundations as observed in previous earthquakes. Centrifuge modeling has been a good …

Tunnelling-induced ground movements are complicated and investigations into them
normally require some simplifications. This paper provides a brief literature review which …

The rapid development of modern metropolises has led to a shortage of surface space and,
in response, engineers have pursued alternatives below ground level. Shafts are commonly …

Shafts are frequently constructed to allow access to subsurface infrastructure and the
resulting excavation is generally deep and narrow. Shafts may be constructed using a …

Onshore oil and gas pipelines are often routed through hazardous terrain owing to the need
to traverse large distances and inevitably crosses large slopes and river valleys. A type of …

The forepole umbrella system (FUS) uses steel pipes installed from within a tunnel to
provide a canopy above the tunnel heading that both increases stability and reduces …

An innovative 3D optical crackmeter employing computer vision technology is used for
displacement monitoring in a crack of a retaining wall automatically and remotely. The 3D …
