Abstract: Large cyclic loading on ballasted railroad tracks is now inevitable owing to an increased demand for freight and public transport. This leads to a progressive deterioration and densification of railroad ballast and ...

Abstract: Major offshore and onshore structures, including transport corridors and high-rise buildings, resting on soft compressible clays are often supported by pile foundations. Apart from the usual vertical loading from the ...

Abstract: Large structures, such as offshore platforms, wind turbine foundations, wide buildings, bridges, and railway granular embankments, are often supported by pile foundations. These structures are usually subjected to large ...

Abstract: Seismic response evaluation of the site of interest subjected to a bedrock motion is one of the most important problems in earthquake geotechnical engineering. For one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear site response analysis in ...

Abstract: Prediction of the rotational displacements, induced by earthquake is a key aspect of the seismic design of retaining walls. In this paper, the pseudodynamic method is used to compute rotational displacements of the retaining ...

Abstract: Large-scale cubical triaxial tests were conducted to investigate the behavior of reinforced and unreinforced subballast under cyclic load. Granular material with an average particle size (

Abstract: The deformation and degradation of ballast is influenced by the size of the aggregates. In this study, a series of cyclic drained triaxial tests was conducted on ballast with different sizes using the large-scale cylindrical ...
