Abstract: Given the prevalence of such scenarios worldwide, it is of the utmost importance for geotechnical practitioners to understand the behavior of a strip footing located over a pipe buried within a slope. This study focuses ...

Abstract: Excessive lateral movements of buried pipes in geohazard-prone areas frequently jeopardize the structural integrity and serviceability of pipelines, as well as the safety of the surrounding geoenvironments. Based on the ...

Abstract: Glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials provide practical solutions to corrosion and site-maneuvering problems for civil infrastructures using conventional steel bars as reinforcements. In this study, the feasibility ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and strips are potential alternatives to conventional soil reinforcements. In this aspect, two commonly used FRP materials are glass-FRP and carbon-FRP (GFRP and CFRP). However, the ...

Abstract: Soil nailing has become a common method for improving slope stability due to its cost-effectiveness and easy installation. However, concerns have been arisen regarding the quality and integrity of soil nailing works. This ...

Abstract: Assessment of cracks are essential for attaining better performance of landfill liner system. This study provides a new vision toward crack prevention in clayey soils. A comparative study of using various geomaterials, ...
