Effect of fluid pressure gradient on the factor of safety in rock stability analysis

open access: yes, 2021
Inappropriate assessment of rock stability may result in anthropogenic geohazards during underground space development and energy extraction. To reasonably estimate the factor of safety (FOS) for rock stability, it is critical to address uncertainties ...

Incorporating Setup Effects into the Reliability Analysis of Driven Piles

open access: yes, 2021
Driven-pile setup is referred to a phenomenon in which the bearing capacity of driven piles increases with time after the end of driving (EOD). The setup effect can significantly improve the bearing capacity (ultimate resistance) of driven piles after ...
