As the water pressure of shield tunnel increases, the key to tunnel construction is to strengthen the water resistance of joints. By analyzing the characteristics of stress and deformation of the gaskets in the joints of...

As a building material, the loess is usually required to be compacted in engineering construction, thus the deformation characteristics of compacted loess with the increase of water content are closely related to the saf...

Based on the actual state of the soil along rail transit in hot and rainy area, the resonant column tests on the soil under wetting and drying circles are conducted to study the stiffness characteristics of residual soil...

Advanced geological prediction is one essential part in tunnel construction, and 3D E-SCAN resistivity device is introduced. In this device, the current and measuring electrodes are arranged on the tunnel face, which can...

The German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona Exhibition, a benchmark of 20th-century rationalist architecture designed by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, was built on a plinth made up of seventy tile vaults. This decisio...

It is of essence to solve, in short time and with the minimum effort, the problem of settlements of shallow foundations of the existing buildings/structures caused by the adjacent foundation excavation. A patent-pending ...

For the a building with 13 floors high and no basemnt located in Shanghai, short leg shear wall system is used for the superstructure, and the foundation beams with precast tubular piles are used to be the foundation typ...

The design and construction of strengthening of a building in soft soil area is taken as an example. The reasons for the settlement and the inclination of this project are analyzed in combination with the monitoring data...

Plants are sophisticated and intelligent natural construction materials. They can be used for enhancing the stability of shallow soil slopes and minimizing surface erosion. It is evident that the use of plants can be low...

The case study of closely spaced twin tunnels excavated vertically beneath the adjacent Chaoyangmen station in Beijing, China is introduced. The existing subway station is part of the Beijing subway Line 2. The new recta...

The CFG pile composite foundation has many advantages, so it has been widely used as the common foundation treatment. However, it has been carefully used in soft foundation reinforcement because of the high demand of the...

The expansive soils have the tendency to expand in wetting and to shrink in drying. The addition of cement is one of the methods to enhance the engineering properties of such soils. The effects of varying cement contents...

The excavation construction of twin parallel tunnels is simulated by using centrifugal model tests. The internal stress and deformation variation of shield structure of the existing tunnel and the ground surface settleme...

The deformation properties of CFRD (concrete face rockfill dam) are studied through centrifuge tests by building concrete cover plate on the alluvium foundation. Three centrifugal model tests are conducted for the purpos...

Centrifugal model tests are carried out to simulate the construction and operation of the dike on a soft soil foundation for the purpose of taxiway construction on the seashore. The vertical strip drains are adopted for ...

Sandbag cofferdam applies flexible load on soil foundation. The failure mode and sliding surface of soft soil foundation under sandbag cofferdam should be significantly different from that under rigid base. Aimed to get ...

The large-diameter ultra-long piles are commonly adopted for constructing ocean platform foundations. The pile-sliding phenomenon frequently takes place because of the great weight of both the piles and the hammer. Engin...

Wood is a natural material widely used in construction. Unlike artificial building materials, wood is characterized by natural defects (flaws) that can negatively affect its performance under load. This study proposes a ...

A simple and robust nonlinear dilatation constitutive model with clear mechanics concept is introduced, and the stiffness coefficient matrix of constitutive relationship is presented. A kind of coarsed-grained soil is co...

With the rapid evolution of virtual reality technologies such as digital twins, industrial Internet of Things, edge intelligence, and metaverse, virtual‒reality integration has become a core driving force for the const...

Since the traditional settlement plates have adverse effects on the construction with tedious operations, a new embedded settlement gauge based on the dual-pressure sensors is proposed. Based on the principles of transfo...

Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies...

The earthquake liquefaction is one of the direct causes for unstable ground and damage of upper structure. Therefore, the liquefaction assessment is an important part of anti-seismic investigation in engineering. By taki...

The actual engineering problems induced by super low-strength soft clay are paid more and more attention with the rapid development of port and ocean engineering. However, the routine geotechnical experimental method can...
