TLDR
A deformation measurement system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) and close-range photogrammetry has been developed for use in geotechnical testing as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A deformation measurement system based on particle image velocimetry (PIV) and close-range photogrammetry has been developed for use in geotechnical testing. In this paper, the theory underlying this system is described, and the performance is validated. Digital photography is used to capture images of planar soil deformation. Using PIV, the movement of a fine mesh of soil patches is measured to a high precision. Since PIV operates on the image texture, intrusive target markers need not be installed in the observed soil. The resulting displacement vectors are converted from image space to object space using a photogrammetric transformation. A series of validation experiments are reported. These demonstrate that the precision, accuracy and resolution of the system are an order of magnitude higher than previous image-based deformation methods, and are comparable to local instrumentation used in element testing. This performance is achieved concurrent with an order of magnitude increase in the number of meas...read more

Face stability analysis of shield-driven tunnels shallowly buried in dry sand using 1-g large-scale model tests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the face stability of shield-driven tunnels shallowly buried in dry sand using 1-g large-scale model tests and found that, as the tunnel face moves backwards, the support pressure at the tunnel faces drops sharply initially, then rebounds slightly, and tends to be stabilized at the end.

Modeling wheel-induced rutting in soils: Rolling
TL;DR: Theoretical models for predicting penetration of non-driving (towed) rigid cylindrical wheels rolling on frictional/cohesive soils are presented in this paper, which allow for investigating the influence of soil parameters and wheel geometry on the relationship between the inclined rolling force and wheel sinkage in the presence of permanently formed ruts.

TL;DR: A camera calibration procedure intended for a 3D measurement application is presented, paying attention to the various error sources, and notices that a more complete camera model is needed to explain all the error components.
