The lateral response of partially embedded single piles, referred to as extended pile shafts, subjected to combined vertical and lateral loads is investigated using a novel analytical method that explicitly accounts for the

Large‐strain consolidation of stratified saturated clays is difficult to model analytically or even semi‐analytically within existing frameworks. This paper proposes a layer‐wise modal solution for one‐dimensional large‐strain consolidation of stratified saturated clay foundations. The formulation is developed in the L...

This paper proposes a novel analytical method for predicting the deformation of existing tunnels, incorporating both the weakening effect of circumferential joints and the three‐dimensional under‐crossing effect of shield tunnelling. The model is established using the coordinate‐transformed Mindlin solution and the L...

In underground space engineering, the down‐crossing of a tunnel beneath an existing pipeline often leads to soil settlement beneath the pipeline, creating a gap between the pipeline and the soil. This can result in the loss of local support under the pipeline, significantly decreasing its safety and reliability. To a...

The durability of marine concrete square piles is critically governed by chloride transport at the corners of piles, regions subject to multi-directional erosion and pronounced accumulation under cyclic wetting–drying conditions. In this study, we developed a two-dimensional coupled moisture–chloride convection–diffusi...
