Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical analysis was conducted to evaluate the performance of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls with free-headed piles installed within the geosynthetic-reinforced zone subjected to lateral ...

Abstract: Approach slabs are commonly used to smooth the transition between an integral bridge abutment and its adjacent backfill-supported pavement where differential settlement may exist. This settlement can be aggravated by ...

Abstract: Corrugated metal pipes (CMPs) buried in the ground for decades may get corroded and lose their structural capacities supporting surface loading, leading to the end of their service life. Three maintenance options are ...

Abstract: To investigate the behavior of laterally loaded piles within mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, reduced-scale physical model tests of single piles within the MSE walls were conducted inside a test box. Sensors were ...
