Desiccation cracking in clayey soil, which may lead to soil erosion, geotechnical
engineering accidents, or even environmental pollution, is a serious problem nowadays …

To date, numerically simulating the Fluid–Solid Interaction (FSI) and the entire process of
host rock damage and water inrush involved in tunnel construction relies intensively on …

Internal erosion refers to the movement of fine particles within soil framework due to
subsurface water seepage. Existing criteria for assessing internal erosion usually are based …

Internal erosion can induce significant changes in the mechanical properties of soils, posing
various hazards to dam and dike structures. Despite its importance, our current …

A novel road slope monitoring and early warning system was developed by integrating 3D
image recognition technology and 3D numerical modeling technology for monitoring and …

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 …

Slope instability failure is a large deformation problem. Traditional numerical methods and
limit equilibrium methods are difficult to characterize the whole process of failure, resulting in …

Rock-related disasters such as roof falls, sidewall spalling, and rock bursts are commonly
encountered in hard rock tunnels, resulting in frequent occurrence of tunnel instability in …

Desiccation cracking in clayey soils occurs when they lose moisture, leading to an increase
in their compressibility and hydraulic conductivity and hence a significant reduction of soil …

Rock masses in a water-rich environment often destabilize due to the water-softening effect;
therefore, identifying the migration and diffusion of water in rock is critical. Most current …
