The mechanical properties of calcareous sands are critical as potentially important material
sources for marine geotechnical constructions. Brittleness and large deformations created in …

The mechanical behavior of carbonate sand reinforced with horizontal layers of geotextile is
invetigated using a series of drained compression triaxial tests on unreinforced and …

Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) has emerged as a potential technique to mitigate the
effects of earthquakes, with many applications to structural configurations, such as bridges …

A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the three-dimensional
arrangement of geotextile strips on the load-bearing capacity of a strip foundation on sand …

Abstract Geomembranes (GMBs) and geotextiles (GTXs) are the most widely used
geosynthetics in landfills and other barrier systems. While various temperature environments …

This paper presents the findings of an experimental investigation of the efficiency of several
low-cost frictional geotechnical seismic isolation methods on a rigid building model. A total …

Geotextile layers make it possible to construct mid-rise buildings sitting on shallow
foundations in unfavourable soil conditions; this study investigates how the arrangement of …

The effect of geogrid on the efficiency of geotechnical seismic isolation using a layer of stone
pebbles is experimentally investigated in this study. Four different foundation support cases …

The effect of the foundation size on the efficiency of seismic base isolation using a layer of
stone pebbles is experimentally investigated. Four scaled models of buildings with different …

The stability of geotechnical structures which contain geosynthetic interfaces is closely
linked to the shear strength between the geosynthetics themselves, both in static and …
