Abstract: In this paper, governing ordinary differential equations are derived for a reinforced Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation. An analytical solution is obtained for a point load on an infinite Timoshenko beam on elastic ...

Abstract: This paper suggests a method for obtaining closed-form solutions for a reinforced Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation subjected to any pressure loading. A particular solution is obtained for uniform pressure loading ...

Abstract: Variable compressibility must be considered in settlement calculation of soft soil stratums, especially for thick soil layers. This study proposes a new simplified method to calculate the settlement of a thick soil layer ...

Abstract: Temperature significantly affects the mechanical properties of geomaterials, particularly the creep behavior of soft clayey soils. Thus, an appropriate constitutive model to describe the time-dependent stress-strain behavior ...

Abstract: The soil ground treated by deep cement mixing (DCM) in the field normally consists of cement–soil mixed columns and untreated soils. Although many attempts have been made, research on the consolidation behavior of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents several analytical solutions for the consolidation analysis of a soil layer with fairly general laws of variation of permeability and compressibility for both a single-drained condition and a double-drained ...

Abstract: A series of single-staged consolidated drained direct shear tests are carried out on recompacted completely decomposed granite (CDG) soil—a typical residual soil in Hong Kong, under different matric suctions and net normal ...

Abstract: The strength of soil-nails depends on the behavior of the soil-cement grout interface at saturated and unsaturated conditions. Nowadays, pressure grouted soil-nails are considered to provide better interface strength than ...
