Abstract: Caissons are rigid foundations most commonly used to support bridge piers. In this study, numerical analysis using the finite-element method based computer program ABAQUS was carried out to study the response of caissons ...

Abstract: A method to assess the influence of tension cracks on the seismic external stability analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil slopes is carried out in the present study. In addition to being subjected to uniform surcharge ...

Abstract: Vertical expansion in existing landfills is accomplished using an engineering berm at the toe of the landfill, which is a better alternative to horizontal expansion and new landfill construction from economic and environmental ...

Abstract: In the present study, a new method for designing the cantilever sheet pile wall having a strip load present on the backfill is proposed in cohesionless soil. The method uses the limit-equilibrium approach by establishing ...

Abstract: Bridge failure is mostly caused by geotechnical failure. Because caissons are the automatic choice for foundation systems for marine structures, such as bridges and wind turbines, this study addresses the determination of ...

Abstract: Cantilever sheet pile walls are generally designed assuming the rectilinear distribution of net earth pressure. In this paper, a new method is proposed in the framework of the limit equilibrium approach for the analysis ...
