Understanding the relationship between plasticity of muddy soil and earth pressure can be crucial to maintaining tunnel stability and predicting ground behavior during earth pressure balance (EPB) ...

Earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling has evolved into a critical method for constructing underground passages in soft and mixed ground conditions. This technique utilises the simultaneous ...

Infrastructures often suffer severe damage due to geotechnical hazards of both natural kinds such as floods or earthquakes and man-made ones like underground construction work and excavations. The ...
