3 Nov 2010: Incremental wall deformation profiles generally followed the O’Rourke cosine bulge equation and a new deformation mechanism was proposed with respect to wall toe fixity and excavation geometry. ... A new dimensionless group has been defined using the

26 Jun 2001: A new error criterion was developed based on one of the superconvergent patch recovery methods, and pore pressures were incorporated as well. ... Alternatively, an unstructured mesh generator using a modified form of the Delaunay triangulation algorithm

22 Jun 2009: In order to speed up the computation, the new SPH package was developed for the open source molecular dynamics code “LAMMPS” (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator). ... engineering. The SPH package with the new soil models and

16 Feb 2010: Based on the research findings, new design criteria are proposed to improve the effectiveness of compensation grouting.

10 Jan 2011: Based on these observations a new empirical approach for quantifying the soil structure interaction is proposed. ... Trends in the vertical and horizontal displacement profiles are identified and a new method for predicting the settlement profile in sands

26 Jan 2006: The fieldwork took place during construction of the new Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) in the UK, in Contract 250 in Dagenham, Essex.

26 Jun 2001: Taking the production of new surface area from the particle size distributions produced by the numerical model, a work equation is used to deduce the plastic compression of voids, for

23 Jun 2008: This leads to the obvious conflict between existing tunnels and new piled foundations. ... Since interaction between tunnels and piles is complex, design assumptions for new piles close to existing tunnels are often conservative.

11 Mar 2008: To measure monotonic soil properties in situ, a new miniature pressuremeter was developed for the centrifuge.

5 Nov 2003: These difficulties have been overcome through the development of a new miniature sensor, a high air-entry filter element, and a quality-assured method of tensiometer saturation. ... These seasonal displacements are accurately measured at thousands of

17 Dec 2001: Geotechnical Engineering Group. Abstract. A new technique has been developed for monitoring contaminant transport in-situ under controlled conditions, which produces an approximately real time continuous output.The fibre-optic photometric

11 Jun 2009: New tunnel construction occurs increasingly close to existing buried structures. Tunnel designers must account for likely effects that construction activities may have on these structures.

26 Jun 2001: Observed collapse mechanisms in the centrifuge models led to the development of new and improved upper bound solutions.

26 Jun 2001: As dielectric soil characterisation is a very new area, there are few sensors available for practical applications.

13 Feb 2002: In this new series of centrifugal tests, the effects of excess pore pressure under spud-can foundations of a scaled model three-leg offshore jack up structure subjected to horizontal cyclic

7 Jul 2004: The thesis proposes new ways in which the magnitude of ground movement may be predicted, with an emphasis on the different stages of tunnel construction; a modified approach to the Load

29 Nov 2007: A new image analysis technique was used to track the soil movement without recourse to intrusive target markers.

27 Jun 2002: A new system for deformation measurement in plane strain modelling and other forms of geotechnical testing has been developed.

29 Nov 2007: This research has shown the effectiveness of dynamic centrifuge testing of MSW landfills and provided valuable information that may be used in designing of new landfills or risk assessment of old

16 Sep 2010: The results were synthesized to produce new normalised pipe load charts.
