Assessing site investigation program for design of shield tunnels

open access: yesUnderground Space, 2023
In the design of shield tunnels, it is expected that a design can be more economical as more site investigation data are available. Nevertheless, the cost of site investigation will also increase as more site investigation data are required.

Constrained modulus of fine-grained soils from in situ-based correlations and comparison with laboratory tests [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
The Constrained Modulus of soil is an important parameter to quantify compressibility of soils and calculate consolidation settlements, especially for clays. It is often expressed in terms of 1D constrained modulus, M or its inverse coefficient of volume
