Abstract: The trapdoor/trapdoor-like model test has been widely utilized to investigate the evolution of soil arching. However, the primary focus of previous studies has been on the mechanical and deformation behaviors of the arching ...

Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional discrete numerical analysis associated with the interaction of geogrid and surrounding soils in geogrid-reinforced sand foundations under strip footing. After validating the numerical ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the soil arching effect associated with piled embankments under cyclic loading by developing a series of two-dimensional trapdoor discrete numerical models. After identification of the ...
