Open AccessA physics-inspired machine learning approach for water-tightness estimation of defective cut-off walls with random construction errors
Underground cut-off walls are widely used in various geotechnical applications to hinder groundwater flow, contaminant transportation and possibly heat conduction. Cut-off walls were usually found defective du...

Probabilistic risk assessment of earth dams with spatially variable soil properties using random adaptive finite element limit analysis
Risk assessment of earth dams is concerned not only with the probability of failure but also with the corresponding consequence, which can be more difficult to quantify when the spatial variability of soil pro...

Prealbumin as a nutrition status indicator may be associated with outcomes of geriatric hip fractures: a propensity score matching and 1-year follow-up study
Nutrition status may affect bone metabolism and regeneration in the elderly. However, few studies reported a sensitive nutrition indicator or evaluation tool for geriatric hip fractures. This study aimed to ex...

Open AccessAn approach for modelling spatial variability in permeability of cement-admixed soil
This paper presents a framework for modelling the random variation in permeability in cement-admixed soil based on the binder content variation and thereby relating the coefficient of permeability to the uncon...

Measure for Reducing the Tensile Stress in Cement-Treated Soil Layer in Deep Excavation in Soft Clay
Cement-stabilised soil layers (CSSLs) are often created to enhance lateral support to the retaining wall below the excavation level, such as those widely used in the construction of common service tunnels in S...
