Abstract: This paper presents a prediction model for the shear strength of fiber-reinforced soil. A series of triaxial compression tests were first conducted to investigate the influences of fiber content and fiber length on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical investigation of the performance of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) bridge abutments under static loading conditions. Simulations were conducted using a finite-difference program to model ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study to investigate the load transfer mechanism of a geosynthetic encased stone column (GESC) under embankment loading. The soils were modeled with a nonlinear elasto-plastic constitutive ...

Abstract: Extensive research has been carried out to understand the behavior of pile-supported embankments; however, pavement crack, which could appear early on the pavement of low embankments during the service life, has not yet ...

Abstract: Carbon footprint considerations have become one of the significant concerns in the construction and rehabilitation of public infrastructure. As such, sustainability metrics using carbon footprint are of particular significance ...

Abstract: Sustainability has emerged as a paramount concern in the construction and development of built infrastructure. This study delves into the environmental impact and vulnerability of an idealized bridge–foundation–ground ...

Abstract: Red mudstone is a problematic soil that is easily subjected to weathering, disintegrating, and swelling. In this study, a series of large-scale cyclic triaxial tests were performed to investigate the cumulative deformation ...
