Abstract: Geotechnical engineers face several challenges when designing structures over soft soils. These include potential bearing failure, intolerable settlement, large lateral pressures and movement, and global or local instability. ...

Abstract: A force‐equilibrium model was used to derive a theoretical solution for the lateral capacity of rigid piers embedded in cohesionless and c‐ϕ soil profiles having sloping ground surfaces. A parametric study indicated that ...

Abstract: The results of experimental research are presented and discussed with focus on the internal well resistance of prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) under vacuum-induced water flow. Measured results included fluid flow rates ...

Abstract: Microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) offers a robust technique to improve strength and stiffness properties of subsurface soils supporting infrastructures. Several unknown factors, including the MICP ...
