Abstract: The kinematics of failure of reinforced structures such as reinforced retaining walls, embankments, slopes, and grounds suggest that the failure surface intersects the reinforcement obliquely, thus causing an oblique pull ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for evaluation of the pullout capacity of sheet reinforcement subjected to oblique pullout force considering that the subgrade soil is represented as a two-parameter linear-elastic Pasternak model ...

Abstract: There is a growing need to replace natural aggregates in road construction with new, alternative materials owing to the scarcity of natural resources. On the other hand, generation of huge quantities of waste from industries ...

Abstract: A rational analysis of extensible sheet reinforcement subjected to an oblique end force has been presented that properly accounts for complex soil-reinforcement interaction and involves stress-deformation relationship ...

Abstract: The generation of huge quantities of waste materials from industries like iron, steel, thermal power plants, etc., is resulting in shortage of disposal areas and causing serious environmental pollution. In this paper, a ...

Abstract: Fully drained, load-controlled laboratory model tests and their numerical simulations are presented. The tests were performed on adequately instrumented, small scale physical models of floating stone column group foundations ...

Abstract: The main objective of the present study is to quantify the influence of important factors such as fly ash content, dolime content, and curing period on the shear strength and stiffness characteristics of copper slag–fly ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional finite-element analyses of the inclined pullout behavior of geogrids embedded in three types of anchors (run-out, I-type, and L-type) are presented in this paper. The soil behavior is represented by the ...
