Soils are composed of grains but they are generally treated as continua in the classical framework of geomechanics. Their macroscopic response under loading, such as their non-linearity, yielding and anisotropy, is controlled by their micro-structure, the characteristics of the grains and the disposition of contacts between them. There have been rapid advances in technology both to investigate …
Immersed tunnel is already a major underwater construction and the stability analysis of immersed tunnel is of great significance in marine engineering. Most previous investigations of the immersed tunnel are about seismic response and did not consider soil anisotropy. In this paper, we developed a 2D model to discuss the effects of soil cross-anisotropy on the residual liquefaction around an…
In order to satisfy contemporary urban development requirements, it is essential to utilize urban underground space (UUS) effectively when planning new metropolitan subway (metro) stations, especially in commercial areas. Herein, two cases involving metro stations in commercial areas, the Xujiahui zone in Shanghai, China and the Namba zone in Osaka, Japan, are investigated with respect to lan…
As a kind of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP), geothermal energy piles is the economic, stable, efficient, and environmentally friendly way of cooling and heating building. Though the usage of geothermal energy piles has rapidly increased in the past three decades, there is so far limited understanding of their thermo-mechanical performance, and its application is earlier than theoretical inves…
