Deep learning-based design model for suction caissons on clay

Predicting the non-linear loading response is the key to the design of suction caissons. This paper presents a systematic study to explore the applicability of deep learning techniques in foundation design. Firstly, a series of three-dimensional finite element simulations was performed, covering a wide range of embedment ratios and different...

Alluvial Stratigraphic Response to Astronomical Climate Change: Numerical modelling and outcrop study in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA

Alluvial stratigraphy is influenced by both allogenic and autogenic factors, which are difficult to be distinguished from each other because they operate at overlapping spatial and temporal scales. Moreover, it remains uncertain whether autogenic dynamics can result in sedimentary cyclicity that resembles allogenically-driven stratigraphic...

Dynamic morphology of the Sittaung estuary, Myanmar: A detailed investigation and modeling of rapid bank erosion

Impressed current cathodic protection of chloride-contaminated RC structures with cracking: A numerical study

Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is an effective and direct method for controlling the corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, few investigations related to ICCP in cracked RC structures have been reported. In this study, the effect of cracks in concrete cover on ICCP of chloride-contaminated RC structures was...
