Resilient Design and Construction of Geostructures Against Natural Hazards: Proceedings of the 6th GeoChina International Conference on Civil Tr [Paperback]

This volume contains state of the engineering practice and recent research in the field of built infrastructure and natural hazards. It is expected that the book will help engineers and researchers to design and built resilient infrastructures in challenging conditions (e.g., earthquakes and climate change) while optimising the design and minimising the future maintenance cost. In particular new design and construction techniques with reference to major infrastructure projects such as tunneling and transport infrastructure are discussed.Laboratory Evaluation and Neural Network Modeling of Treated Macau Marine Clay.- Prediction of Seismic Site Coefficients for Northeast Arkansas.- Rheological Characterization and Computational Fluid Simulation of Foam.- Conditioned Muck during EPB Shield Tunneling in Gravelly Sand Stratum.- Earthquake Damage Estimation using RADIUS model (Case Study: Tehran).- Hydro-mechanics analysis on the strength development of cement-stabilized cracked clay.- Progressive Growth of Calcium Carbonate during MICP Process.- Large strain consolidation with time and distance dependent boundary conditions.- Effects of drilling uncertainty and seepage flow on the heat transfer in artificial ground freezing.- Finite element analysis of strain localization in natural clay using elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model.- Analysis of calculated subgrade settlement in the loess area.- Stress-Controlled Direct Shear Tests Of Straw Fiber Reinforced Loess.- Enhancement of expansive soils with the treatment of lignosulfonate.Prof Behzad Fatahi is Head of Discipline (Geotechnical and Transportation Engineering)and Associate Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
