Development of Geocapillary Barrier System for Water Retention in Highway Landscaping

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study investigates the potential use of geosynthetic materials as capillary barriers to enhance water retention in landscaping soils. The soil was first classified using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS); then, the Van Genuchten model was used to model and compare the unsaturated hydraulic characteristics of the soil and geosynthetic ...

Slope Stability Prediction Utilizing a Random Forest Model Optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization

Geofluids, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In engineering practice, the accuracy of slope stability assessment significantly influences personal and property safety; therefore, accurate prediction of slope stability is of critical importance. Because of the strong nonlinear prediction capacity of machine learning, a particle swarm optimization–based random forest (PSO‐RF) algorithm model was ...

Artificial ground reflector size and position effects on energy yield and economics of single‐axis‐tracked bifacial photovoltaics

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 32, Issue 10, Page 675-686, October 2024.
Artificial ground reflectors were studied through modeling and field experiments for bifacial single‐axis‐tracked photovoltaic systems. Fielded reflectors increased daily energy yield up to 6.2%. Modeled reflectors increased irradiance by 1.9–8.6% and energy yield by 0.9–4.5% annually after considering clipping.

Bearing capacity of geosynthetics-enclosed stone columns

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
As a new soft soil foundation treatment technology, the geosynthetics-bound stone columns (GBSC) is widely used in engineering. The bearing capacity of GBSC is determined by the tensile strength of the geosynthetics and the property of the soil layer ...
