The use of a DMT to monitor the stability of the slopes of a clay exploitation pit in the Boom clay in Belgium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In Belgium the Boom Clay is a well known overconsolidated clay formation. This Tertiary clay, with the same geological origin as the London Clay, is used for the fabrication of bricks, roofing tiles. In the article is described how the DMT can be used to

Stability study on the northern batter of MBC Open Pit using Plaxis 3D

open access: yesArabian Journal of Geosciences, 2018
Cracks appeared on the northern batter at Maddingley Brown Coal Open Pit Mine, Victoria, Australia, on 8 November 2013 and a 2-day rainfall event happened 5 days later. This study models the stability of the northern batter considering the effect of the rainfall event and an emergency buttress using finite element method (FEM) encoded in Plaxis 3D.

Comparative 2D Finite Element Analysis of Soil–Cement Block and Column Reinforcements for Deep Excavation Support

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of soil–cement reinforcement configurations in deep excavations using 2D FEM analysis. It investigates two different approaches to represent soil–cement reinforcement and compares them, showing that blocks reduce lateral deflections by 60%–64% and bending moments by 22% compared to columns.

Photogrammetric documentation in tunneling

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 85-92, June 2025.
Abstract Photogrammetric surveys for geological excavation documentation are standard practice in tunnel construction, benefiting from the sector's ongoing digitalization. However, the application of photogrammetry often remains confined to geological assessments. By creating comprehensive 3D models of excavated tunnels, it is also possible to evaluate

A Modified Strain‐Wedge Model for Small Strain Rigid Piles in Sand

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2025.
This paper develops a modified strain‐wedge (MSW) model within the small strain regime. The model developed is three times more accurate for predicting the pile rotation point and the maximum bending moment than previous models. However, FEA is more precise than the developed model when the strain enters the medium to large domain.
