The reliability of geomechanical models and engineering designs depend heavily on high-quality data. In geomechanical projects, collecting and analyzing laboratory data is crucial in characterizing the mechanical properties of soils and rocks. Howeve...
In this article, a set of neural networks for the prediction of the stresses and the corresponding strains at failure of cohesive soils when subjected to a load of a shallow foundation are presented. The data are acquired via Monte Carlo analyses for...
In this study, cement was used as a component to provide a stabilizing effect in order to evaluate the hardness and stability of loess soil. To evaluate the strength properties of loess soil reinforced with cement, samples with four distinct cement c...
Rock mechanics and the estimation of their material properties through field tests are important aspects and challengees in civil and geotechnical engineering. However, this procedure is expensive and difficult to attain, while the machine learning a...
Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a green bio-inspired soil solidification technique that depends on the ability of urease-producing bacteria to form calcium carbonate that bonds soil grains and, consequently, improves soil mechanic...
Industrial development has significantly increased the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, resulting in the greenhouse effect that harms the global climate and human health. CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers is considered to be one of the effi...
This paper provides a review of the present status of the topic dealt with. The contact and non-contact methods used for rock joint roughness measurement are summarized including their salient features, advantages, and disadvantages. A critical revie...
The ability to precisely monitor soil moisture is highly valuable in industries including agriculture and civil engineering. As soil moisture is a spatially erratic and temporally dynamic variable, rapid, cost-effective, widely applicable, and practi...
Understanding the role that settlement can have on the base resistance of piles is a crucial matter in the design and safety control of deep foundations under various buildings and infrastructure, especially for long to super-long piles (60–90...
The cementation medium for ureolytic microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) typically consists of urea and a calcium source. While some studies have augmented this basic medium, the effects of adding substrates such as ammonium ch...
