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: To investigate the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and damage mechanical behaviors of Huashan granite, two groups of uniaxial compression tests were carried out: the first group of tests was performed on samples ...

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: Abstract There has been widespread research on the estimation of passive earth pressure behind a rotating retaining wall under earthquakes. The pseudodynamic method provides a nonlinear distribution of seismic passive earth ...
