Rutting is one of the significant distresses in flexible pavements. Examining the methods to
decrease permanent deformation is of considerable importance to provide long service life …

The study of soil–structure interface behavior contributes to the fundamental understanding
of engineering performance and foundation design optimization. Previous research studies …

Leakage of oil and its derivatives into the soil can change the engineering behavior of soil
as well as cause environmental disasters. Also, recovering the contaminated sites into their …

Differential settlement of ballast and subgrade is a common issue in ballasted railway tracks.
In transition zones between two different track forms, such as between a ballasted track and …

Over the past decades coastal marshes around the world have declined dramatically. Their
deterioration is controlled by scarcity of sediments, erosion and accelerated rise of relative …

Thermally induced ratcheting of a thermo-active pile is the accumulation of net and
irreversible pile head displacement upon heating–cooling cycles. Although this kind of …

Tunnelling-induced ground surface settlements can be described by a Gaussian distribution
curve with two key factors; the displacement trough width and the volume loss. In most cases …

It is well known that the calculation of consolidation settlements of clayey soils shall consider
creep compression in both “primary” consolidation and so-called secondary consolidation …

Aim (1) To understand the tree root-soil interaction under lateral and moment loading using
a physical modelling technique;(2) To detect the possible factors (eg root architecture, water …

Global vibration-based methods in the field of structural health monitoring are intended to
capture structural stiffness changes of buildings or other civil engineering structures. Natural …
