Abstract: Plastic behavior of soil that is uniformly reinforced by fibers is studied. This analysis considers reinforced earth as macroscopically anisotropic and homogeneous, and it describes its gross behavior based on a knowledge ...

Abstract: Reinforced soil (RS) is a composite material built of a soil matrix reinforced with other materials such as metal strips, geosynthetics etc. RS has been increasingly used in civil engineering, ...

Abstract: Flow mechanisms causing salinity changes during various pumping conditions in a two-layer aquifer are presented and discussed on the basis of empirical observations. Theoretical models explaining the basic features of the ...

Abstract: Experimental results concerning the in situ pullout resistance of dynamically driven nails are presented. These results show that the actual pullout resistance is much higher than that predicted by the classical approach. ...

Abstract: The behavior of the pavement-subsoil system is analyzed from compaction due to traffic. A method of analysis is proposed based on the simple compaction theory and numerical algorithm that makes use of a standard finite ...

Abstract: In this paper the capability of a simple mathematical model of compaction/liquefaction applied for prediction of the seabed behavior subjected to the 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake is presented. The compaction/liquefaction model ...
