This report discusses the challenges associated with geotechnical design through a review
of research on the reliability analysis of geotechnical structures. This report is organized into …

Excavation construction is a high-risk activity, where involves various aspects. Accurate
recognition of high-risk factors and implementation of countermeasures can greatly reduce …

With increasing urbanization and depleting reserves of raw materials for construction,
sustainable management of existing infrastructure will be an important challenge in this …

Rapid urbanisation in China calls for underground infrastructure construction (UIC). The
optimal construction method for UIC can mitigate its impacts on surrounding environment …

Inverse analysis procedures are used to update project parameters and applied to predict
future performance in the later stages. However, the inverse analysis procedure of earth …

This study uses numerical simulation to investigate the soil arching effect behind a braced
excavation in clayey ground and derive an insight into the mechanisms behind the nearby …

The development of digital twins for geotechnical structures necessitates the real-time
updates of three-dimensional (3D) virtual models (eg numerical finite element method (FEM) …

Excavation of deep and long pits can cause strata deformation and settlement of adjacent
buildings. The excavation of a deep foundation pit of a nearby building in Zhengzhou City …

Accurately assessing ground settlement induced by braced excavations is significant in
protecting adjacent structures. However, most existing simplified analytical methods are …

Based on the complex deep foundation pit group process of the Huimin Avenue
Comprehensive Reconstruction Project in Nanjing, the finite element numerical simulation …
