Analytical Solutions for Plane Strain Consolidation of Layered Unsaturated–Saturated Ground With Vertical Drains: Role of Lateral Semi‐Permeable Boundaries

ABSTRACT The coexistence of saturated and unsaturated soil layers is common for soil subgrade improvement by a combination of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and surcharge preloading. In such scenarios, the smear effect of PVDs and the layered hydraulic properties significan...

Towards Efficient and Explainable Road Crack Detection: A Transfer Learning-Driven SqueezeNet-based Approach

Abstract Under long-term exposure to complex environmental conditions and variable traffic loads, road pavements are generally prone to typical early damages such as cracking. Such defects can lead to severe structural deterioration and pavement service life reduction if not dete...
