Abstract: Pseudo-static analysis is one of the most common and simplest approaches used to assess the seismic stability of reinforced-soil retaining walls. Despite the importance of the equivalent seismic coefficient as the key ...

Abstract: A series of reduced-scale model tests was conducted on helical soil-nailed walls (HSNWs) under vertical surface loading to evaluate the effect of length, pattern, and inclination of nails on lateral pressure distribution ...

Abstract: A series of undrained cyclic triaxial tests were carried out on loose sand specimens, including encased and non-encased granular columns, to evaluate the cyclic behavior and liquefaction resistance of the ground improved ...

Abstract: A series of model tests were carried out to determine the effects of reinforcement type and footing location on the performance of two-tiered mechanically stabilized earth walls (T-TMSEWs) under strip loading. By preventing ...

Abstract: A series of shaking table tests were performed on reduced-scale models of helical soil-nailed walls (HSNWs) to evaluate the effect of the nail arrangement and nail inclination on the failure mechanisms and dynamic ...

Abstract: A pseudostatic coefficient is required for pseudostatic analysis of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, but there are no clear criteria for its selection. The current study assessed the horizontal pseudostatic ...

Abstract: This study attempts to evaluate the effects of two important structural design parameters on the dynamic behavior of back-to-back mechanically stabilized earth walls (BBMSEWs). For this purpose, a series of shake table ...
