Spatial variability of soil properties was rarely taken into account directly in traditional slope
stability analyses, rather some “average” or suitably “pessimistic” properties are assumed to …

There are typically three types of models involved in a geotechnical analysis, ie, the
geologic model, the ground model, and the geotechnical model, each of which may be …

A method is proposed for simultaneously estimating the trend and random component of soil
properties at arbitrary locations using Gaussian process regression with the superposition of …

The uncertainty involved in the interpreted geological model may be categorized as the
stratigraphic uncertainty and the properties uncertainty. Note that although the influence of …

Site investigation programs (eg, boreholes) are crucial in characterizing soil properties and
stratigraphic configurations. However, the traditional borehole patterns are generally of …

This paper proposed an approach for estimating the locations of the soil–rock interfaces
(SRI) based on vibration data during shield tunnelling. Vibration data were collected using …

Conditional random field model can make best use of limited site investigation data to
properly characterize the spatial variation of soil properties. This paper aims to propose a …

The probability distributions of soil parameters can be updated with limited site-specific
information via probabilistic back analyses. The updated probability distributions can be …

Due to the complexity and inherent spatial variability of the strata and the limited availability
of borehole information, the subsurface stratigraphic configuration at a site is hard to …

Construction rocks often exhibit a grain structure with spatially correlated grain formations,
posing a challenge in quantifying and predicting their mechanical properties. Effectively …
