Abstract: This study presents an estimating method to calculate the static and the dynamic stresses in the geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported track-bed (embankment), based on a series of full-scale model tests under train moving ...

Abstract: As an eco-friendly treatment method, the microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) approach has been widely adopted in sand, but its use on compacted fine-grained soils remains scarce. In this study, compacted ...

Abstract: The particle shape plays an important role in controlling the behavior of granular material, thus needing to be considered in the formation and evolution of soil arching in the pile-supported embankment. Based on the ...

Abstract: Excavation-induced soil arching is a key factor influencing the responses of the ground and underlying structures. This soil arching below an excavation base is defined as downward soil arching in comparison with that above ...

Abstract: Pipe piles are increasingly used to support embankments of high-speed railways. This study presents a series of static and cyclic axial loading tests on two industrial prestressed-concrete pipe piles installed on a field ...

Abstract: The behavior of soil–geogrid interaction is a dominant factor in the long-term performance of geogrid-reinforced earth structures. This study investigates the interaction of sandy soil and the embedded geogrid by pullout ...

Abstract: For geotechnical construction and maintenance, assessing the shearing behavior at the soil–structure interface is significant. This study presents an experimental investigation into the effect of the grain size distribution ...
