<p>The research presented in this thesis focuses on tunnel&ndash;building interaction, and more specifically on buildings with shallow foundations. </p> <p>The focus of this work is the effect of tunnelling on concrete framed buildings. The research deals ...

<p>In recent years, due to city development, excavation and building construction in the loose fill of the southside of Tabriz, Iran is inevitable. This paper presents a case study of stabilization of a 16m deep excavation in loose fill using soil nail wall ...

<p>Since the 1930s, the limit equilibrium (LE) approach has been used to analyse slopes. This approach makes use of a number of differing analysis methods depending on the type of problem (circular vs non-circular) to be solved and the required accuracy of ...

<p>Bangkok metropolitan located on thick river soft clay deposit has recently construction project on mass rapid transit underground railway (MRT). This paper presents a finite element study on the Bangkok MRT underground construction project. The Sukhumvit ...

<p>In this paper the slope stability of Aydoghmoosh earth dam situated in the north west of Iran is evaluated by various methods of limit equilibrium, finite element and finite difference. Among numerous limit equilibrium methods, Simplified Bishop, Janbu ...

<p>The performance of diaphragm walls in excavation for Shandao Temple Station of Taipei Metro is evaluated by using the concept of wall deflection path which is a plot of maximum wall deflections versus depth of excavation. Finite element analyses were performed ...

<p>Since 1930, the analysis of slope stability is done according to the limit equilibrium approach. Several methods were developed of which certain remain applicable because of their simplicity. However, major disadvantages of these methods are (1) they do ...

<p>Numerical methods combined with centrifuge tests are used to investigate the distribution and development of soil stresses and reinforcement tensile loads in geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) structures. In this study, system stability indicated by the ...

Among soil improvement techniques used to increase strength of loose and<br>medium-dense sand deposits are the dynamic means, such as vibrocompaction and blasting. Sands often exhibit a drop in cone penetration resistance immediately after the disturbance, ...

<p>The present paper deals with the influence of soil non-linearity, on the soil-foundation-structure interaction phenomena. Numerical simulations are carried out so as to reveal the beneficial or unfavourable effects of the non-linear SSI on the assessing ...
