The reduction of soil suction and consequent loss of shear strength due to infiltration is
known to trigger shallow landslides during periods of concentrated rainfall. In the …

The use of the two-dimensional (2D) finite element method (FEM) has become a trend in
slope stability analysis and has been widely adopted by engineers. When using the …

Assembled multi-step cantilever retaining walls pulled locally with geogrids is a novel
structure with light weight, quick installation, and good applicability for high fill earthworks. In …

Assessing the effect of heavy precipitations on earthen structures warrants studying earth
pressure profiles in unsaturated soils under transient flow. This paper presents an analytical …

Geosynthetics are extensively utilized to improve the stability of geotechnical structures and
slopes in urban areas. Among all existing geosynthetics, geotextiles are widely used to …

A series of model tests were conducted to investigate the performance of geosynthetic-
reinforced soil (GRS) walls with marginal backfill subjected to rainfall infiltration. The …

Geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls using marginal soils can operate under
unsaturated conditions depending on climate conditions and drainage inside the reinforced …

Geogrid reinforced soil walls (GRSWs) constructed using low-permeable backfills often
experience failures when subjected to rainfall. The objective of this paper is to employ …

Locally available marginal soil has been widely used as backfills due to the non-availability
of granular soil. The performance of MSE walls at the end of construction with marginal …

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of geocomposite layers as internal drainage
system on the behaviour of geogrid reinforced soil walls with marginal backfills using …
