Gain a stronger foundation with optimal ground improvement Before you break ground on a
new structure, you need to analyze the structure of the ground. Expert analysis and …

This paper presents the results of laboratory scale plate load tests on transparent soils
reinforced with biaxial polypropylene geogrids. The influence of reinforcement length and …

In the literature, the influence of spatial variability of the undrained shear strength of
foundation soils on the bearing capacity of footings is limited to footings seated directly on …

The performance of four sections of a full-scale embankment constructed on soft soil is
examined using a fully coupled and fully three-dimensional finite element analysis. The four …

Reinforced soil foundations (RSFs) have been employed in engineering practice to increase
the soil bearing capacity and to reduce the potential footing settlement. The aim of this study …

Thin granular fill layers are routinely used to aid the construction of shallow footings seated
over undrained soft clay foundations and to increase their load capacity. The influence of …

The pullout test is one of the methods commonly used to study pullout behavior of
reinforcements. In the current research, large pullout tests (ie 100× 60× 60 cm) have been …

The seismic behavior of reinforced soil retaining walls with polymeric strips is examined. A
series of 1-g shaking table tests were employed on 80 cm high reinforced-soil wall models …

This paper presents the case history of the construction of a 3 m high embankment on the
geocell foundation over the soft settled red mud. Red mud is a waste product from the Bayer …

This paper presents the results of the laboratory model tests and the numerical studies
conducted on small diameter PVC pipes, buried in geocell reinforced sand beds. The aim of …
