This study introduces a novel perspective by decomposing the factor of safety (<em>F</em>) into cohesive (<em>F<sub>c</sub></em>) and frictional (<em>F<sub>ϕ</sub></em>) components, revealing that <em>k<sub>v</sub></em> exerts opposing effects on these two components. The extent and critical direction (upward or downward) of <em>k<sub>v</sub></em>’s impact depend on the relative contributions of <em>F<sub>c</sub></em> and <em>F<sub>ϕ</sub></em> to slope stability. This perspective is first demonstrated analytically using a planar failure mechanism and further validated through a physics informed regression model (PIRM), which achieves accuracy comparable to log-spiral upper bound limit analysis (UBLA) and finite element limit analyses (FELA) for homogeneous slopes. The opposing effects are also confirmed for inhomogeneous slopes via finite element analyses (FEA). Additionally, the PIRM is reformulated to predict the horizontal yield coefficient (<em>k<sub>hy</sub></em>), a key input parameter in permanent displacement analysis. Parametric studies indicate that neglecting <em>k<sub>v</sub></em> can overestimate <em>F</em> by up to 35 % and <em>k<sub>hy</sub></em> by up to 53 %, leading to unsafe designs. These findings highlight the necessity of incorporating <em>k<sub>v</sub></em> into seismic slope stability assessments. The proposed PIRMs offer an efficient and reliable tool for preliminary and regional-scale evaluations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55217,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Geotechnics","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 107574"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145050331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, acoustic emissions due to impact-hammering have recently motivated the uptake of alternative, quieter installation methods. Vibro-installation is one such approach that has been increasingly used in recent years, offering potentially quicker installation as well as reducing the risk of pile run. However, the soil mechanisms governing vibratory installation and its effects on the post-installation response are not yet fully understood. Improving this understanding could guide industry recommendations on vibro-driven pile installation. Therefore, the present study focuses on evaluating soil mechanisms underpinning resistance against vibro-driving in sand by performing large deformation numerical analyses of displacement-controlled vibro-driving of large-diameter cylindrical open-ended piles (monopiles). The results indicate that dynamic components of total soil resistance acting out of phase with static ones together with reductions in arching stresses inside the pile, can significantly decrease the penetration resistance compared to the monotonic jacking resistance. Furthermore, the total soil resistance against vibro-driving reduces if the upward displacement is large enough for full reversal of the shaft resistance but its downward movement is not sufficiently large for the full remobilization of tip resistance. In addition, shear-induced positive excess pore pressures around the pile tip during vibro-driving can facilitate easier pile penetration through reduction in effective stresses around the pile tip and more significant phase shifts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55217,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Geotechnics","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 107628"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145050335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, by employing ABAQUS software for finite element analysis, this study proposes a Fourier series-based probabilistic method and investigates buckling behavior under the combined effects of different Fourier coefficients, series types, imperfection magnitudes, and installation depths.

Imperfection distributions of caisson foundations with strongly constrained tops and open bottoms are represented by the improved half-wave sine Fourier series method through the longitudinal increment of imperfection magnitude. Furthermore, considering the effect of stretching imperfections into the mudline from caisson installation, the numerical analyses using the improved eigenmode method are also conducted.

The tightness and pressure bearing capacity of the sealing layer are governed by the clogging efficiency of fine particles and fibers in the bridging region. However, the clogging mechanism within the pores of coarse particles after bridging remains poorly understood. This study employs a hybrid CFD-DEM method to investigate the migration and clogging behavior of diverters in a bridging skeleton. The results indicate that fine particles initially migrate rapidly through dominant flow paths, while fiber movement is restricted by their high aspect ratio and mainly localized at the skeleton entrance. In single-size particle systems, larger fine particles form size-dominated clogs at pore throats, with clogging ratios increasing with both particle size and concentration. Mixed particle systems exhibit a more uniform clogging distribution and reduced sensitivity to concentration, owing to the cooperative filling of pore spaces. Fibers exhibit high clogging ratios under all conditions due to their tendency to attach and entangle on bridging particle surfaces. In single-size systems, particles whose sizes match pore throats and higher concentrations yield denser, less permeable sealing layers. Mixed particle systems result in even lower normalized permeability via synergistic filling. Fiber-induced clogging leads to the lowest permeability, forming continuous covers at pore entrances. For clogging stability, fine particles exhibit a “high contact number-high clogging ratio” pattern, while fibers display a “moderate contact number-high clogging ratio” pattern with fewer contacts required for retention. At low concentration, fine particles exhibit pronounced anisotropy in normal contact forces distribution, while mixed particle systems and fibers both reduce this anisotropy and promote a more uniform force network.

Existing analytical ground–tunnel interaction models typically fail to consider torsion, flattening and warping and disregard the formation of gaps between the tunnel and the ground. To mitigate this gap, this paper proposes a new quasi-three-dimensional (3D) ground–tunnel interaction model grounded in generalized beam theory, which considers gap formation and an arbitrary 3D intersection angle with normal faults. In the proposed model, the tunnel was idealized as a pipeline resting on a Winkler foundation, with five deformation modes considered: shearing, bending, flattening, torsion, and warping. To capture the effects of varying ground behaviour, three-dimensional heterogeneous ground models were developed to represent active and passive ground resistance, discontinuous contact at the ground–tunnel interface, and spatially variable stiffness within shear zones. The corresponding finite element formulation is established through the application of the minimum potential energy principle. Through three case studies, the validity of the proposed approach was demonstrated, highlighting its advantages over traditional analytical methods. Finally, parametric studies were performed to investigate the influence of the intersection angle and shear zone on tunnel deformation behaviour. The proposed methods contribute to a better understanding of ground–tunnel interactions and complicated cross-sectional deformation under normal faults, which is beneficial for the design and protection of existing tunnels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55217,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Geotechnics","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 107617"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method employs a one-way coupling strategy that links a three-dimensional solution of Richards equation for transient, variably saturated subsurface flow with a newly developed NLA-based stability model tailored for large-scale slope stability assessment. The NLA-based algorithm enables the efficient delineation of multiple and simultaneous failure zones with irregular geometries and the quantification of failure volumes, without requiring a priori assumptions about their shape or location. MFNA-3D improves the physical realism of basin-scale landslide simulations by capturing the effects of antecedent and extreme rainfall on pore-water pressure and stability evolution. The methodology was applied to a landslide-prone tropical basin in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, incorporating mesh refinement and parametric sensitivity analyses. Quantitative validation was conducted by comparing the Fs maps obtained from the proposed approach with those generated using the infinite slope method, against mapped landslide scars.

The results indicate that the spatial distribution and migration behavior of the polymer have a significant influence on fluid transition patterns. When located near the inlet, the polymer undergoes a three-stage migration process involving progressive deformation, entrapment, and eventual immobilization in narrow pores, resulting in a significant and irreversible reduction in porosity from 0.099 to 0.007 and a decrease by four orders of magnitude in hydraulic conductivity. In contrast, polymers near the outlet initially undergo clogging, followed by hydraulically driven elution, resulting in a more gradual and more minor reduction in porosity, from 0.101 to 0.071, and a one-order-of-magnitude decrease in hydraulic conductivity. The pressure distribution within the domain reflects the evolving hydraulic response to polymer migration, where localized pressure buildup corresponds to pore clogging. In contrast, subsequent pressure equalization signifies the progressive elution of polymer and the restoration of flow paths. These findings demonstrate the critical role of pore-scale heterogeneity and spatial polymer location in dictating the sealing performance of BPC-GCLs.
