Abstract: The use of jute and coir fibers as natural fiber drains to facilitate drainage and soft soil stabilization has been proposed for decades. However, their uncertain hydraulic behavior has often hampered their wider application ...

Abstract: Increasing hydraulic gradients and associated seepage in a soil foundation accompanied by a reduction in effective stress, degradation of soil stiffness, and diminished internal stability contribute to adverse conditions ...

Abstract: The loss of effective stress due to increasing excess pore pressure that results in the upward migration of soil particles, that is, subgrade fluidization and mud pumping, has been a critical issue for railways over many ...

Abstract: The combination of soil–cement (SC) columns and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) has indicated great success in improving ground stabilization in recent years; however, there is a lack of proper plane-strain numerical ...
