Abstract: The kinematics of failure of reinforced structures such as reinforced retaining walls, embankments, slopes, and grounds suggest that the failure surface intersects the reinforcement obliquely, thus causing an oblique pull ...

Abstract: There is a growing need to replace natural aggregates in road construction with new, alternative materials owing to the scarcity of natural resources. On the other hand, generation of huge quantities of waste from industries ...

Abstract: A rational analysis of extensible sheet reinforcement subjected to an oblique end force has been presented that properly accounts for complex soil-reinforcement interaction and involves stress-deformation relationship ...

Abstract: Fully drained, load-controlled laboratory model tests and their numerical simulations are presented. The tests were performed on adequately instrumented, small scale physical models of floating stone column group foundations ...

Abstract: The main objective of the present study is to quantify the influence of important factors such as fly ash content, dolime content, and curing period on the shear strength and stiffness characteristics of copper slag–fly ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional finite-element analyses of the inclined pullout behavior of geogrids embedded in three types of anchors (run-out, I-type, and L-type) are presented in this paper. The soil behavior is represented by the ...

Abstract: The concept of utilizing industrial wastes for road construction can be materialized only by evaluating the field performance of roads constructed with these wastes. The present study encompasses the laboratory investigation ...

Abstract: Buried offshore pipes are prone to upheaval and lateral buckling because of the high temperature and pressure of the materials being transported. An attempt has been made in the present study to evaluate uplift and lateral ...
