As a result, mat foundation has recently been employed for construction in consideration of these effects. A building with mat foundation, however, is greatly influenced by settlement...

... ABSTRACT: The ground replacement method reinforced by geonet is based on field experiences so that a theoretical consideration has been required to adapt for use with the geonet. In this study, we have considered the mechanical behavior of the geonet based on the cable theory. As a result...

In risk assessment, the consideration of uncertainties is done explicitly in a systematic and comprehensive way, whereas traditional approaches tend to consider uncertainties implicitly using sensitivity analyses on assumptions, generally...

This has required excavation of replacement passes. To remedy the problems, consideration was given to support of the passes...

The Monte Carlo method was used to evaluate geometrical variations of wedges. The frequency of wedge formation was determined by taking into consideration...

Emphasis is given to the classical closed-form analytical solution of elastic-plastic (inelastic) behaviour of rock around excavations to illustrate the influence of various factors that affect the constitutive behaviours, both elastic and inelastic, of the rock.
