Ground Vibration Attenuation Induced by Gabion and Concrete Mats
ABSTRACT This paper presents a numerical investigation of the ground vibration attenuation promoted by gabion and concrete mats. The analyses employ a coupled boundary‐finite element model, in which the mat is modeled as a flexible plate in fully bonded contact with the surface of an unbounded, linear‐elastic half‐space representing the soil.

Model‐Free Data‐Driven Computational Analysis for Soil Consolidation Problems
ABSTRACT Soils are inherently uncertain natural materials. In geotechnical engineering, soil properties are fundamentally characterised by testing small samples. The results will then be utilised to determine appropriate geomaterial constitutive models and associated parameters for implementation in conventional computational procedures such as finite ...

ABSTRACT Natural soils often exhibit clearly anisotropic mechanical properties, yet this characteristic is frequently overlooked in numerical models due to the practical challenges of determining anisotropic parameters. As a result, the influence of anisotropy remains difficult to anticipate, and engineers have limited tools to incorporate it into ...

Abstract Water resources are a critical societal issue. As they are more and more limited, their distribution, usage and contamination are of vital importance. In the Beauce region, there are concerns on both the water quality and quantity because of farming and the related groundwater contamination.

Abstract This paper addresses the problem of retrieving the propagation velocities of electromagnetic waves in a non‐homogeneous soil made up of two layers separated by a not‐flat interface. The propagation velocities are estimated from GPR data gathered at the air–soil interface in common offset configuration.
