Abstract: Abstract The stability of retaining walls is strongly affected by the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of unsaturated backfill soils, where the interactions between suction, moisture content, and external loading introduce ...

Abstract: AbstractReinforcement stiffness (J) plays an important role in the performance of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. However, the impact of J on the maximum tensile load (Tmax) of reinforcements at incipient failure ...
