The strength and dilatancy behaviors of modeled dense rockfill material were systematically investigated through a series of true triaxial compression tests at different minor principal stress and intermediate principal ...

This study presents the results of one of the first attempts to characterize the pore water pressure response of soils subjected to dynamic loading under saturated and unsaturated conditions. The resilient modulus, which ...

The variation of pullout capacity of vertical strip anchor plates with width was studied while considering the effect of mean normal stress on the peak friction angle in a granular soil domain. This analysis was performed ...

The combined pile–raft foundation (CPRF) has been widely recognized as economic and rational foundation for high-rise buildings when subjected to vertical loading because of its effectiveness in load sharing by both raft ...

This paper presents a new earth-retaining structure, the moso bamboo soil-nailed wall. Moso bamboo (including branches) is employed as soil nails and piles, and used to weave bamboo strip grids (replacing rebar grids) for ...

This paper reports the results of a numerical parametric study focused on the prediction of vertical load distribution and vertical gap compression between precast concrete facing panel units in steel-reinforced soil walls ...

This study examined the effects of small-scale airblast experiments on clay soils and compared experimental results with numerical solutions obtained through finite-element simulations. Thirty-three suspended explosive ...

This paper describes the construction and testing of six 1-m-high model embankments constructed at three different gravimetric water content (GWC) values to study their performance and to validate a set of moisture reduction ...

Hypothesis A in clay rheology is widely used in practical engineering. It is important to explore its theoretical basis and proper scope of application in practical engineering. To build the relation between Hypotheses A ...
