Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The prosperous development of infrastructure construction has driven various constructions such as building, municipal administration, energy, water conservancy, shipping, mining, and national defense, in which geotechnical engineering plays an important role. Geotechnical engineering studies geotechnical and soil problems, including issues such as foundations, slopes, and underground engineering. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, centered around technologies such as the Internet of Things, modern communication, big data, and artificial intelligence, has become a platform for intelligent upgrading in many research fields. Under the conditions of this new era, traditional geotechnical engineering research has encountered unprecedented opportunities as well as challenges. The integration of geotechnical engineering with the latest information technology and computer science technology, such as building information models, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, deep learning, augmented reality, etc., can help in achieving the intelligent transformation of geotechnical engineering.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest innovations in theories, technologies, and methods in intelligent geotechnical engineering which can potentially contribute to the intelligent transformation of geotechnical engineering. We invite submissions of original research articles and reviews. Potential areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

  • Intelligent simulation and modeling;
  • Intelligent monitoring and early warning;
  • Intelligent perception and analysis based on Edge-Cloud-Network;
  • Intelligent decision making and control for construction and operation and maintenance;
  • Integrated parameter intelligent inversion analysis method of geotechnical engineering;
  • Artificial intelligence and disaster prevention and mitigation;
  • Application of big data, artificial intelligence, and digital twins in geotechnical engineering.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The high risk of collapse is a key issue affecting the construction safety of karst tunnels. A risk assessment method for karst tunnel collapse based on data-driven Bayesian Network (BN) self-learning is proposed in this study. The finite element calculation is used to analyze the distribution law of the plastic zone of the tunnel and the karst cave surrounding rock under different combinations of parameters, and a four-factor three-level data case database is established. Through the self-learning of the BN database, a Bayesian Network model of karst tunnel collapse risk assessment with nodes of four types of karst cave parameters is established. The specific probability distribution state and sensitivity of the parameters of different types of karst caves under the condition of whether the tunnel and the karst cave plastic zone are connected or not are studied. The research results show that the distance and angle of the karst cave are the main influencing parameters of the tunnel collapse probability, and the diameter and number of the karst cave are the secondary influencing parameters. Among them, the distance, diameter, and number of karst caves are proportional to the probability of tunnel collapse, and the most unfavorable orientation of karst caves is 45° above the tunnel. When the tunnel passes through the karst area, it should avoid the radial intersection with the karst cave at the arch waist while staying away from the karst cave. The results of this work can provide a reference for the construction safety of karst tunnels under similar conditions. Full article
