Abstract: The behavior of soil-geosynthetics interfaces depends on the different properties of soil, including particle size, particle shape, density, gravimetric water content, degree of saturation, and properties of geosynthetics ...

Abstract: This paper pertains to the finite-element lower bound limit analysis (FELA-LB) of vertical strip anchors embedded in cohesionless and cohesive soils and subjected to static and earthquake forces (using pseudostatic analysis) ...

Abstract: This paper pertains to the finite-element lower-bound bearing capacity analysis of inverted triangular-based strip footings (ITBFs). The solutions are obtained by the construction of a linear stress field that satisfies ...

Abstract: This study undertook stability analysis of nailed soil slopes using the limit-equilibrium method (LEM) and considering a three-dimensional (3D) rigid-body rotational failure mechanism with the assumed slip surface being a ...

Abstract: This paper pertains to the development of a mechanical model to predict the behavior of a geosynthetic-reinforced granular fill over soft soil improved with stone columns. The saturated soft soil has been idealized by ...

Abstract: Parameters of rock failure criteria are estimated using an optimization procedure based on appropriate objective function. In the development of objective function, it is assumed that the independent variables are free ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new approach for the optimal geometric design and tolerancing of multibody systems. The approach optimizes both the nominal system dimensions and the associated tolerances ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study using the FEM on the effect of interference on the settlement of two closely spaced rough rigid strip footings resting on the surface of linearly elastic finite and infinite nonhomogeneous soil ...
