Load–Settlement Modeling of Micropiled Rafts in Cohesive Soils Using an Artificial Intelligence Technique

Geosciences
The traditional design of foundations in soft clay often relies on large-diameter piles, which, although effective, are costly and impractical for low- to medium-rise buildings.

Strong ground motion and structural damage in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes: A comparative case study of numerical predictions and field observations

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract On February 6, 2023, southeastern Türkiye was struck by two catastrophic earthquakes (Mw: 7.7 and Mw: 7.6) along the East Anatolian Fault Zone, causing extensive structural failures and significant loss of life. This study evaluates the seismotectonic characteristics of the sequence, analyzes strong ground motion data against the Turkish ...

Patient Safety and Organisational Accountability: Reassessing Criminal Liability Frameworks in Healthcare

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
Serious harm in healthcare often results from systemic failures, yet criminal accountability remains largely addressed through homicide law, gross negligence manslaughter and health‐and‐safety offences, frameworks that emphasise individual culpability and are ill‐suited to addressing organisational failings.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Development of New Jack-Up Substructure Supporting Offshore Wind Turbines in Multi-Layered Soils: Geotechnical Aspects

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Few studies have addressed jack-up substructures with spudcans for offshore wind turbines targeting multi-layer seabed conditions, which are frequently found in the Korean seabed.

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Development and performance evaluation of a soft-contact earth pressure transducer for geotechnical centrifuge modeling

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The miniature earth pressure transducer is one of the key testing tools in geotechnical centrifuge modeling. Aiming at solving the classical problems such as arching effects, size effects and thickness-diameter ratio in the measurement of rigid ...

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

Boreas, EarlyView.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...
