Abstract: In this paper, a modified/extended rotational hardening (RH) rule is applied to the nonassociated simple anisotropic constitutive model, SANICLAY-D, for clayey soils. In the proposed model, the destructuration mechanism, ...

Abstract: Steel strips as soil reinforcements have two significant advantages over reinforcements with a circular cross section like solid and hollow steel bars. First, the contact area of steel strips is more than that of steel ...

Abstract: The design and maintenance of embankments is still a challenge in practical geotechnical engineering because of some features of soft sensitive soil behavior that are not considered in conventional methods. These features ...

Abstract: A considerable sudden settlement was discovered on the Esfarayen Earth-fill Dam surface near to the left abutment when the reservoir level rose to 51 m from the riverbed in April 2013. As a result, a detection process ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the procedure to determine the required mechanical properties of plastic concrete used to build a new cutoff wall as a remediation measure in an earth-fill dam constructed in a narrow canyon and ...

Abstract: Two centrifuge model tests were used to examine the effect of soil interlayering on the measured cone-penetration resistance in a layered soil model. The first centrifuge model included four soil profiles: two uniform loose ...
