Abstract: The Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway in Ethiopia extends across the Rift Valley, where cinder gravels (scoria) occur widely. Considering its abundance and environmental benefits, these cinder gravels are an enormous resource ...

Abstract: A geosynthetic-reinforced piled embankment situated along a newly constructed high-speed rail line was fully instrumented and monitored to explore soil arching in an equilateral-triangular arrangement of piles with circular ...

Abstract: Civil excavation projects frequently produce significant amounts of excess spoil. Repurposing this spoil into usable backfill material instead of disposing of it offers economic and environmental benefits. This study ...

Abstract: Earth platforms supported by rigid columns provide an effective solution for embankments founded on thick deposits of soft soils. Nevertheless, the failure mechanisms and associated soil–structure interactions remain ...

Abstract: Strength characteristics of graded gravels are essential in the construction of roadway and railway substructures. Traditional constitutive models, primarily nonlinear elastic and plastic types, fall short in accurately ...
