Abstract: A computer program has been produced to study numerically the instability of normaland high-strength reinforced concrete walls. This method of analysis requires the calculation of moment-curvature values, which are then ...

Abstract: Utilizing natural expansive clays that are available on-site as sewer trench backfill can cause destructive deformations due to volume changes, which are caused by seasonal climatic changes. Such deformations result in ...

Abstract: Sewer infrastructures that are backfilled with available onsite expansive soils may be exposed to damages due to seasonal ground movements. Therefore, for deep excavated trenches located in nontrafficable areas, the ...
