Abstract: Deep excavations are commonly used in urban areas due to the extreme increase in ground worth. Stability and displacement of adjacent structures are two main design criteria in stabilized excavated walls. In this paper, ...

Abstract: The influence of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads inclusion on the shear stiffness of a quartz-based material and a calcareous-based material has been examined by performing a comprehensive series of non-destructive bender ...

Abstract: The geotechnical resistance factor (GRF) is an important parameter used as a part of the implementation of the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method. This paper presents the improvement of the GRF used in the ...

Abstract: The low bearing capacity and high erosion potential of calcareous soils are major concerns in marine environments. Lime stabilization is one of the earliest and most widely used methods for improving the mechanical properties ...

Abstract: The simplified shear-wave velocity (Vs)–based procedure of liquefaction potential assessment was basically developed for terrigenous deposits, whereas its applicability for calcareous soils is not fully recognized. The ...
