To achieve the design criteria specified by the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning (DUAP), a multi-level prestressed anchor wall was designed. Lateral wall displacements and ground settlements were...

... The main aim of rock bolting is to reinforce such regions of rock mass where tensile and shearing stresses might cause dilation and/or shearing displacements dangerous for the stability of an underground opening. The roof bolts in the rectangular underground openings are usually installed perpendicularly...

... within the FE. The purpose of a NN constitutive model employed within the FE is to use the measured boundary forces and displacements to train a NN soil model ,where the NN exactly replaces the role of the more conventional constitutive laws in the FE. The FE-NN hybrid approach allows the training...

Results are compared to the predictions of a finite-layer technique applied to a cylindrical heat source in a four-region soils. Convergence analyses are conducted and very good agreement is found between numerical...
