Geotechnical Engineering

open access: yes, 2019
Geotechnical analysis below the surface of hydropower plant is one way to determine the stability of the opening holes in determining the supporting system. A discussion about supporting systems cannot be separated from the analysis of the construction of recommended supporting system based on the weighting value of the geomechanical classification of ...

Fast iterative solvers for geomechanics in a commercial FE code [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There is a pressing need to improve the feasibility of three-dimensional finite element (FE) methods applied to many problems in civil engineering. This is particularly the case for static analyses in geotechnical engineering: ideally, models would be 3D,

Behaviour of micropiles in heterogeneous coarse soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper reports on an experimental investigation on the behaviour of small-diameter piles, commonly referred to as micropiles. This particular type of deep foundation is frequently used in many barely accessible Italian mountainous areas, often ...

Characterization of the permeability evolution of hard and soft rocks under hydro‐mechanical coupling conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The permeability variation of rocks during complete stress–strain processes was investigated. A mathematical model describing the influence of rock damage on permeability was constructed. The permeability–stress relationship between soft rock and hard rock was proposed.

Domain adaptation of large language models for geotechnical applications

open access: yesSolid Earth Sciences
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) is transforming opportunities in geotechnical engineering, where workflows rely on complex, text-rich data. While general-purpose LLMs demonstrate strong reasoning capabilities, their effectiveness in

Evaluation of innovative sprayed-concrete-lined tunnelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The front-shunt tunnel was the first tunnel of the Terminal 5 project at Heathrow to be constructed, and was the first section of sprayed-concrete-lined (SCL) tunnel to be constructed using the method known as LaserShell.

Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.
