Abstract: The response of unsaturated soil slopes subjected to raised groundwater levels is generally governed by undrained shear strength. A series of unconsolidated undrained triaxial tests was conducted on reconstructed specimens ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the lateral jetting commencing points associated with the peak pressure when an arc-curved jet impacts flat, concave, convex, and inclined solid surfaces, respectively. A theoretical method based on ...

Abstract: A model for evaluating the lateral earth pressure distribution for retaining walls as a function of intermediate displacement between the full active and passive states is proposed in this paper. The proposed method can ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are proposed to evaluate the average settlement under an embedded footing in an elastic soil. The rigid foundation was simplified as a uniformly loaded area. Four factors, the Gibson, trench, sidewall ...

Abstract: Modeling approaches to fully capture the behavior of fiber-reinforced clay remain lacking, although the beneficial role of discrete short fibers in reinforcing soils is an established concept. This lack results from ...
