Abstract: Geotechnical engineers face serious problems when building on collapsible soils. These types of soil show considerable strength when dry and experience excessive and sudden settlement when inundated. Due to the expansion ...

Abstract: Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. Passive earth pressure plays an important role in the design of retaining walls and anchors. Furthermore, it provides the resisting ...

Abstract: Experimental and theoretical studies on the effects of the coefficient of earth pressure at rest

Abstract: Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. An experimental investigation of the at-rest earth pressure of overconsolidated cohesionless soil acting on retaining walls was ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation on the passive earth pressure of overconsolidated cohesionless soil on retaining walls was conducted. A prototype model of a vertical rough wall, retaining horizontal backfill, was developed ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of the shaft resistance of single vertical and batter piles pushed into sand was conducted. A prototype laboratory setup was designed for testing relatively large model piles, inclined at an ...

Abstract: The behavior of model single‐pitch screw anchor installed in dense sand subjected to hydrostatic pressure or upward seepage flow is presented. The experimental setup described in a companion paper was modified to allow ...

Abstract: Experimental and theoretical investigations on the behavior of single‐screw helical anchors in sand are presented. A testing program included 56 tests conducted on five model anchors installed in dense, medium, and loose ...
