Abstract: A relatively new method for mechanized maintenance of railroad ballast (stoneblowing) puts a layer of single size stone between the ballast and each tie creating a two-layer gravel support. To get a better understanding ...

Abstract: Methods of checking the overall stability of anchored retaining walls are reviewed. Series of laboratory scale tests were carried out in which field construction of anchored rigid retaining walls was simulated. For each ...

Abstract: The response of soil loaded in a pressuremeter test is inherently time‐dependent; even for an “undrained” test in a clay, some consolidation will occur. The pressuremeter expansion will also be affected by creep of the ...
