Pore-Water pressure profile of a freezing soil

Estimation of pore water pressure in the body of earth dams during construction with intelligent models

One of the basic measures in managing the stability of earth dams is to accurately estimate the amount of pore water pressure in the body of the dam during and after its construction. In this study, three different models of artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and gene expression programming (GEP) to estimate the pore water pressure in the body of Kab...

Experimental Investigation on Excess Pore Water Pressure in Soft Soil-Foundations under Minor Shocks

In this study, shaking table tests are performed to investigate the behavior of excess pore water pressure in different soft soil-foundations of soil-structure interaction (SSI) system. The variation of the behaviors under cycled minor shock is observed. Moreover, The generation and variation mechanism of excess pore water pressure under earthquake excitation in different soft soilfoundations a...

Determining Soil Water Flux and Pore Water Velocity by a Heat Pulse Technique

Several approaches are available for estimating soil water flux indirectly (Nielsen et al., 1973; Bresler, 1973), A method is presented for measuring soil water flux density (J ) but these approaches can be time consuming, mathematwith a thermo-TDR (time domain reflectometry) probe. Constant heat input during a small time interval (15 s) is used to emit a heat ically complicated, and measuremen...
