Abstract: Concrete piles are used conventionally to reinforce slurry trench against global collapse during excavation in surrounding soft soil layers. In this paper, the stabilizing forces acting on piles were analyzed with the ...

Abstract: The distribution of lateral earth pressure acting on underwater rock-socketed circular diaphragm walls was investigated using theoretical analyses. Emphasis was placed on the relationship between the motion modes associated ...

Abstract: We conducted an experimental study on the swelling–shrinking characteristic of expansive soil treated with enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) using yellow soybean. A series of tests including the free swell test, ...
