This paper summarized the shallow geothermal resources within a depth of 200 m in China.
This geothermal resource is divided into five regions based on the geological structures …

This paper established a coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical mechanism in view of the soil
particle rearrangement for saturated/unsaturated soils under the framework of granular …

The jet grouting technique was originally initiated in the UK and progressively developed
following the needs for larger geometries, ease of implementation, economic rationality, and …

Metro system is a vital component of mass transportation infrastructure, providing crucial
social and economic service in urban area. Flood events may cause functional disruptions to …

A unified model for clays and sands, referred to as CSUH model, is proposed. The CSUH
model develops the following aspects based on the unified hardening (UH) model:(a) a …

This research investigates geohazards and preventative countermeasures for Lanzhou City,
China. To investigate the factors related to the development of geohazards in Lanzhou, the …

An elastoplastic theory for saturated freezing soils is presented on the basis of
thermoporomechanics. A saturated freezing soil considered as an open system and both …

This paper presents an advanced constitutive model for unsaturated soils, using Bishop's
effective stress (σ′) and the effective degree of saturation (S e) as two fundamental …

A new three-dimensional (3D) elastoviscoplastic (EVP) constitutive model for both normally
consolidated and overconsolidated clays is presented. In developing the new model, first the …

The use of cement as a curing agent has been widely adopted in soft soil engineering to
increase the strength of soft soil. The cemented soil is gradually exposed to the air and in a …
