Abstract: The tensile behavior of three commonly used polymeric geogrids (polypropylene, polyester, and high-density polyethylene) under cyclic loading was investigated. The tests were strain controlled and were conducted for 100 ...

Abstract: The finite element procedures are extremely useful in gaining insights into the behavior of reinforced soil retaining walls. In this study, a validated finite element procedure was used for conducting a series of parametric ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the seismic performance of three geosynthetic-reinforced segmental retaining wall systems backfilled with a silty sand mixture, using a shaking table excited by 1995 Kobe earthquake loadings. The ...

Abstract: The existing design guidelines for buried flexible pipes are limited to depth up to

Abstract: The municipal solid waste landfill suffers from large postclosure settlement that occurs over an extended period of time. A large differential settlement may impair foundations, utilities, and other associated facilities ...

Abstract: Geosynthetic reinforcements are manufactured from polymers such as polyester, polypropylene, and high-density polyethylene. Compared to metals, they exhibit large plastic strains, and highly nonlinear and hysteretic behaviors ...

Abstract: The interactions between plastic soils and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) geomembranes were studied using a direct shear device under as-compacted conditions. The PVC geomembranes had smooth or textured surfaces, and the soils ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the seismic response of five large-scale retaining walls having a geocell facing. The walls were

Abstract: This study focused on the behavior of a large-diameter burial pipe with special reference to its stability against flotation subject to soil liquefaction. Centrifugal modeling technique was used where the results are ...
