Abstract: Although rammed aggregate piers (RAPs) have attracted much attention as a cost-beneficial ground improvement technique, their construction process and the other affecting parameters on the behavior of these geotechnical ...

Abstract: This research focuses on experimental and constitutive time-dependent modeling of sands considering rate dependency, fabric, and stepwise sudden frequency changes during loadings. Several cyclic triaxial undrained tests ...

Abstract: In this study, the Taguchi design of experiments (TDOE) is employed to enhance the bearing capacity of geotechnical structures. To this end, two different case studies, including tapered helical piles as a novel kind of ...
