Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of reinforcement forms on the interface shear strength of geosynthetic-reinforced granular soil by conducting a set of large-scale direct shear tests. Three sands of different size (fine, ...

Abstract: This study investigated the impact of optimum dosages of nano-calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3) and nanosilica on the engineering behavior of black cotton soil. The desired percentage of nano-addition, 2%, for both nanomaterials, ...

Abstract: Vertical drains are extensively used for ground improvement in order to accelerate the consolidation settlement of soft clay deposits. In the case of very soft clay, if sand/aggregate alone is provided, the diameter of the ...
