Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the uplift resistance of pipelines buried in reinforced soil. The behavior of the system is studied using a set of laboratory experiments. The pull-out forces ...

Abstract: Mechanical properties of frozen soils (e.g., triaxial compressive strength, σtc and Young’s modulus, E) are important in tunnel, shaft, or open pit excavation projects. Although numerous attempts have been made to ...
