GEOTECHNICAL CHALLENGES ON SOFT GROUND

Addressing the Geotechnical Challenges Posed by Soft Clays

Future Challenges for Artificial Neural Network Modelling in Geotechnical Engineering

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a form of artificial intelligence and, since the mid-1990s, ANNbased models have been successfully applied to virtually every problem in geotechnical engineering. This paper briefly examines the areas of geotechnical engineering to which ANNs have been applied, provides a brief overview of the operation of ANN models, and highlights and discusses four impor...

Water-induced granular decomposition and its effects on geotechnical properties of crushed soft rocks

The widespread availability of soft rocks and their increasing use as cheap rockfill material is adding more to geotechnical hazards because time-dependent granular decomposition causes significant damage to their mechanical properties. An experimental study was conducted through monotonic torsional shear tests on crushed soft rocks under fully saturated and dry conditions and compared with ana...
