Abstract: Two of the conventional methods to improve soft soil deposits are evaporative dewatering and accelerated consolidation of the deposits using prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs). Evaporative dewatering is limited in ...

Abstract: The ventilated well method (VWM) is a recently introduced novel dewatering and densification technique for soft soils that relies on controlled evaporation through ventilated and perforated wells traversing through the ...

Abstract: The geometric properties of the pore space govern the electrical and hydraulic properties of soils. Recognizing this commonality, this paper proposes a new approach to determine permeability from high-frequency electromagnetic ...

Abstract: Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls are widely used to stabilize steep slopes, especially when the crest is subjected to static or dynamic loading. These structures are frequently used in highway and railway structures ...

Abstract: Engineers often face the challenge of constructing on soft soils that are associated with low bearing capacity and severe post-constructional settlements. In the subsurface zone, volume-change behavior of saturated soft ...

Abstract: Hydraulic conductivities of soils rely significantly on three factors, the properties of their pore water, the relative quantity of their pore water, and changes in their pore structure. For saturated soft soils, that ...
