Abstract: A method for predicting the traffic-load-induced settlement of road on soft subsoil with a low embankment is proposed. The traffic-load-induced dynamic stress in subsoil is calculated by the multilayer elastic theory (not ...

Abstract: Closed form equations for calculating the lateral displacement caused by the installation of soil–cement columns are derived based on cylindrical cavity expansion theory. The radius of the cavity needs to be predetermined ...

Abstract: On a macroscale, the effect of installing prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) in a subsoil is to increase the mass hydraulic conductivity of the subsoil in the vertical direction. Based on this concept, a simple method ...

Abstract: Water hyacinth (WH) is abundant in tropical regions. As a result of high sources of fiber, the WH is possibly used for producing biodegradable geotextile, but WH-based geotextiles have low tensile strength and durability ...

Abstract: Both laboratory and field pullout tests are conducted using steel grid reinforcements with cohesive‐frictional backfill soils. The laboratory pullout tests are performed using a large‐scale pullout apparatus designed ...
