Rock bolts are one of the most effective and conventional support techniques widely used in
underground mining and tunneling operations to stabilize excavations and jointed rock …

This paper presents a non-destructive method for detecting necking defects in bored piles
using electromagnetic waves. Small-scale laboratory experiments are conducted with a …

The objective of this study is to suggest a more accurate integrity estimation method in
drilled shafts using electromagnetic waves propagating through transmission lines. Model …

The stability of tunnels and rock slopes is adversely affected by defects in rock bolts. This
study investigates the suitability of the smart sensing method using electromagnetic waves …

The objective of this study was to develop a horizontally elongated time domain
reflectometry (HETDR) system to evaluate the water content in nonuniformly wetted soils …

This study aims to inspect grout defects in rock bolts using electromagnetic (EM) waves. The
experiments are conducted using one intact rock bolt and eight defective rock bolts with …

Soil nailing has become a common method for improving slope stability due to its cost-
effectiveness and easy installation. However, concerns have been arisen regarding the …

Structural failures of soil-nailed structures occasionally occur due to the poor integrity of soil
nails. The objective of this study was to evaluate soil nail integrity by estimating the installed …

Sediment has a severe effect on bridge stability, and time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a
suitable method for assessing scour depth. This paper presents a fundamental study to …

Although soil nails have been widely used for stabilizing slopes, they are often only partially
grouted. Thus, grouted ratio of soil nails should be evaluated to prevent landslides. The …
