Abstract: In this work we incorporate the effect of near-bed coherent flow structures into the entrainment of randomly configured mixed-size sediments. The fourth-order Gram–Charlier type probability density function (GC pdf) of ...

Abstract: A narrow mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall is defined as a MSE wall placed adjacent to an existing stable wall, with a width less than that established in current guidelines. Because of space constraints and ...

Abstract: The accuracy of prior theoretical and empirical models for predicting the shear strength of fiber-reinforced soil (FRS) is questionable because of the difficulty of using these simplified models to describe the complex ...

Abstract: This paper presents a series of unconsolidated-undrained (UU) triaxial compression tests for investigating the behavior and failure mechanism of geotextile-reinforced clay and the effects of sandwiching nonwoven geotextile ...

Abstract: This paper presents reduced model tests on geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) embankment and foundation systems subjected to reverse fault movements. Three types of reinforced foundations—soil foundations reinforced with ...
