    Improving Shallow Foundation Settlement Prediction through Intelligent Optimization Techniques

    Hadi Fattahi1, Hossein Ghaedi1, Danial Jahed Armaghani2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.143, No.1, pp. 747-766, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.062390 - 11 April 2025

    Abstract In contemporary geotechnical projects, various approaches are employed for forecasting the settlement of shallow foundations (Sm). However, achieving precise modeling of foundation behavior using certain techniques (such as analytical, numerical, and regression) is challenging and sometimes unattainable. This is primarily due to the inherent nonlinearity of the model, the intricate nature of geotechnical materials, the complex interaction between soil and foundation, and the inherent uncertainty in soil parameters. Therefore, these methods often introduce assumptions and simplifications, resulting in relationships that deviate from the actual problem’s reality. In addition, many of these methods demand significant investments of… More >

    Shield Excavation Analysis: Ground Settlement & Mechanical Responses in Complex Strata

    Baojun Qin1, Guangwei Zhang1, Wei Zhang2,*

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.18, No.3, pp. 341-360, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.047405 - 15 May 2024

    Abstract This study delves into the effects of shield tunneling in complex coastal strata, focusing on how this construction method impacts surface settlement, the mechanical properties of adjacent rock, and the deformation of tunnel segments. It investigates the impact of shield construction on surface settlement, mechanical characteristics of nearby rock, and segment deformation in complex coastal strata susceptible to construction disturbances. Utilizing the Fuzhou Binhai express line as a case study, we developed a comprehensive numerical model using the ABAQUS finite element software. The model incorporates factors such as face force, grouting pressure, jack force, and… More >
