Abstract: Geotechnical structures are generally designed using the deterministic approach, where uniform properties are used over the material space. This approach is not appropriate for deep cement mixed (DCM) ground due to the ...

Abstract: The spatial variability of mechanical properties of deep cement mixed (DCM) soil leads to uncertainty in performance of DCM column–supported embankments. While adequate safety levels can be achieved using a large factor ...

Abstract: Soil liquefaction is one of the major factors affecting the behavior of piles founded in seismically active areas. Although methods are available for seismic analysis of pile foundations, in many of them, the supporting ...

Abstract: The performance of pile foundations during an earthquake significantly influences the integrity of structures supported by them. Therefore, in the overall seismic design process of the structures, modeling of the ...

Abstract: Conflicts are frequent in public–private partnerships (PPP) due to the involvement of multidisciplined parties within the process. Individual parties among the numerous stakeholders often work toward achieving their own ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution for the consolidation behavior of deep cement mixed (DCM) column–improved ground on the basis of the equal strain condition. The proposed analytical solution accounted for the ...

Abstract: The nonhomogeneous behavior of structured soils during triaxial tests has been studied using a finite element model based on the Structured Cam Clay constitutive model with Biot-type consolidation. The effect of inhomogeneities ...

Abstract: Embankment construction on soft ground has increased considerably over recent years as a result of the increase in infrastructure development activities and because of the unavailability of suitable land. Geosynthetic-reinforced ...

Abstract: Abutment walls in integral abutment bridges (IABs) move in a cyclic pattern in response to temperature-induced expansion and/or contraction of the bridge superstructure. The repetitive abutment movements cause an active-wedge ...

Abstract: AbstractThe construction industry is transforming rapidly, embracing recycled materials, moving toward a climate-resilient future, and advancing a circular economy. There are significant benefits in reusing materials that ...
