Abstract: The time-dependent behavior of soft and problematic soils is a major concern as constructional fill geomaterial. Several researchers have been utilizing different admixture to stabilize soft soil. In this study, fly ash ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel optical fiber sensor-based nondestructive method, namely, the long-gauge fiber Bragg grating (LGFBG) method, for integrity assessment of cement-grouted soil nails. This LGFBG sensor was developed ...

Abstract: Estimating the permanent strain of granular materials in embankments subjected to cyclic loading is a major challenge for transport engineering projects. In practice, the development of permanent strain can be divided into ...
