Abstract: Pressurized grouting has been frequently adopted in soil-nailing systems that are widely used to improve slope stability. In most geotechnical applications, soil nailing using pressurized grouting has been empirically ...

Abstract: The strength of a marine sand is investigated by means of cone penetration tests and plate load tests, and by measurement of the resistance against penetration by the steel skirts underneath a gravity platform. Several ...

Abstract: Desiccation of a deformable soil is basically the removal of water by evaporation, which is controlled by evaporativity and evaporability. Surface evaporation improves the trafficability, which is essential for the access ...
