Add to basketThis open access book provides insights into research topics related to geotechnical engineering simulations, and collects selected papers from the 2024 7th International Symposium on Traffic Transportation and Civil Architecture (ISTTCA 2024), 21-23 June 2024, held in Tianjin, China. With the development of computing power and artificial intelligence, research methods in geotechnical engineering are gradually shifting from field surveys and physical experiments toward simulation and prediction. Through simulations, it is possible to infer the impact of engineering structures on soil and rock masses, as well as their response to natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, and debris flows, allowing for early planning of mitigation measures.
Inside, readers will find cutting-edge studies on microbial soil stabilization, finite element simulations, centrifuge modeling, and machine learning applications. Topics include advanced material characterization, predictive modeling of tunnels and slopes, AI-enhanced monitoring systems, and risk mitigation strategies for deep excavations and mining subsidence. These contributions illustrate how intelligent systems are optimizing both design and safety across a wide range of geotechnical scenarios.
This volume is an essential resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students seeking to leverage intelligent technologies for more efficient, accurate, and resilient geotechnical solutions. With its integration of theory, experimentation, and smart modeling, it offers a forward-looking perspective on the future of infrastructure in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Dr. Gaofeng Zhao, Professor at Tianjin University's School of Civil Engineering, is a leading expert in computational geomechanics. He earned his Ph.D. from EPFL, Switzerland, and was formerly a senior lecturer at The University of New South Wales, Australia. Dr. Zhao developed NumericalBox3D, a high-performance simulation software widely applied in rock engineering. His contributions to the Distinct Lattice Spring Model (DLSM) and Four-Dimensional Lattice Spring Model (4D-LSM) have advanced applications in underground engineering and material science. With over 100 SCI-indexed publications and an H-index of 33, he is recognized as a Stanford Top 2% Global Scientist. He serves as Associate Editor for the International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences (IJRMMS) and Intelligent Geoengineering (IGEO). Additionally, he is the President of the Commission on Discontinuous Deformation Analysis of the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (ISRM) and the Deputy Director of the Artificial Intelligence Committee of the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering (CSRME). Dr. Zhao has received numerous awards, including the Qian Qihu Award from CSRME, the First-Class Natural Science Award from China’s Ministry of Education, Australia’s Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), among others.

Returns accepted if you are not satisfied with the Service or Book.
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
