The effect of suction on ground surface settlement for a tunnel [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
This paper addresses the physical modelling of a tunnel for saturated and unsaturated sand as well as tests in dry condition. A series of tests were conducted for a 50 mm diameter tunnel buried 25 mm into a poorly graded fine sand under different normal stresses: 0.78, 1.56, 2.34 and 3.31 kPa.

Ground surface settlement of loose sands densified with explosives

open access: yesRevista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2014
This paper presents the results of a blast densification program conducted at a sanitary landfill located in South Carolina, U.S., to densify a liquefiable loose sand layer deposit and thus increase its resistance to liquefaction and flow during a seismic event.

Analysis on Subsidence Law of Bedrock and Ultrathick Loose Layer Caused by Coal Mining

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
In the process of coal mining, when the buried depth is large and the loose layer is thick, the ground subsidence tends to be abnormal, thus causing great damage to the surface ecological environment.

Settlement Prediction Based on the Relationship between the Empirical and Analytical Solutions of a Cylindrical Cavity under Undrained Conditions

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2023
Settlements on the ground surface often relate to excavating an underground cavity in cities. Movement on the ground surface can create a void between the wall of the cylindrical cavity and the lining.
