Evolution of Soil Arching in Geosynthetic-Reinforced Pile-Supported Embankment of a High-Speed Railway under Long-Term Train Traffic Loading and Excessive Subsoil Settlement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Soil arching formed in geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments of high-speed railways plays an important role in transferring the forces within the embankments. In most cases of notable settlements and ... -
DEM-CFM Analysis of Undrained Cyclic Behavior in Transversely Isotropic Granular Soils under True Triaxial Loading Paths
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)True triaxial and hollow cylinder tests are among the best alternatives to explore the effects of stress paths oriented along different Lode angles on soil behavior. However, those experiments are not easy to conduct in ... -
Compaction Characteristics of Biopolymer-Amended Nonplastic Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The use of environmentally friendly materials such as biopolymers has been gaining traction in geotechnical and construction communities as a possible way to stabilize and augment poorly graded soils, improving both ... -
Characterization of Microstructure of a Postglacial Deposit Based on In Situ Testing, Laboratory Testing, and Numerical Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Most natural soils exhibit a certain degree of soil structure which, in general, leads to increased strength and stiffness properties. However, the mechanical characterization of these soils based on conventional laboratory ... -
Penetration Lengths of Agar Gum and Gellan Gum Used for Injection Grouting into Porous Media at Different Pressures
