Abstract: This paper presents the results of load and resistance factor design (LRFD) calibration of the facing limit states for soil nail walls. The current AASHTO facing load model and a modified model together with the AASHTO ...

Abstract: A general approach for calibration of resistance factors for load and resistance factor design (LRFD) of pullout and tensile failure internal limit states of soil nail walls is presented. The calibration of resistance ...

Abstract: This paper presents a generalized plastic mechanics–based constitutive model for the estimation of dynamic stresses in unsaturated subgrade soils under repeated vehicle loading conditions. The stresses in subgrade soils ...

Abstract: The facing design of soil nail walls against flexure, punching shear, and headed-stud tensile limit states has been rarely studied within the reliability-based design framework. This study presents reliability analyses of ...
