Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effects of antislide piles and cohesion anisotropy on seismic displacements of three-dimensional (3D) layered slopes. A discrete mechanism generated by the point-to-point technique is ...

Abstract: Sand–steel interaction directly influences foundation stability. To study the global and local behaviors of the sand–steel interface (SSI) under monotonic loading, a series of modified SSI shear tests were conducted with ...

Abstract: Sulfathiazole (STZ) is a widely used sulfonamide antibiotic. However, its residues in the aquatic environment can exert an adverse effect on microorganisms and human health. This study systemically investigated the aqueous ...

Abstract: Design guidelines for geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls in a tiered configuration are often limited to two tiers with zero batter. To facilitate rational expansion of current design, this paper extends the current ...

Abstract: The magnitude of seismic displacement is an important index to evaluate the safety of slopes. The traditional Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion may overestimate the slope stability in seismic displacement calculation. Some ...
