To avoid the catastrophic results of climate change, a major shift towards clean, sustainable and renewable energy technologies is inevitable. Since buildings are capable on-site thermal generation exhibiting predictive patterns heating cooling, many attempts currently underway to incorporate more (e.g., geothermal cooling) systems in buildings. Subsurface resources represent great potential fo...

Abstract This paper presents the CFD investigation of vortex induced motion (VIM) a caisson model during installation process. The simulations were performed by solving unsteady 3D Navier-Stokes equation. Dynamic Fluid-Body Interaction (DFBI) tool is utilized to simulate motions. Typical draft conditions process are considered. present methodology verified through free decay and VIM cylinder in...

Large caisson constructed in the soft soil layer is prone to rapid sinking during process. Rapid often accompanied by partial sinking, which affects construction safety and subsequent construction. There no relevant early warning mechanism for of sinking. This paper takes a large land deep silt as an example, analysis through earth pressure settlement rate process, proposes mechanism. Before at...
