Soil shear strength is the most fundamental property when designing structures in the
ground and should be carefully assessed and understood. Several empirical models were …

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) embankments are becoming more
popular as a solution for addressing soil structural instability. The interaction between the …

The structural optimization of basal reinforced piled embankments is usually conducted by
examining design alternatives while ignoring the inherent variability of soil properties and …

The settlement has been reported to regularly be a fundamental factor in controlling the
stability of geotechnical structures. Because the theory of elasto-plasticity is widely …

Due to the relatively different mechanical and physical properties of soils and structures, the
interface plays a critical role in the transfer of stress and strain between them. The stability …

This work presents a simplified method for the nonlinear analysis of the load–displacement
response of piles in multi-layered soils. As a starting step, a new interface model based on …

The fundamental issue of bearing capacity of footings on anisotropic clays holds significant
importance in geotechnical engineering. Previous investigations predominantly focused on …

In the context of rock material and modeling uncertainties, the optimization of rock tunnel
support systems is often conducted by selecting the most cost‐effective solution among …

Purpose The soft stabilized slab and pile-supported (SSPS) embankment is an improvement
technique to increase the efficiency of resources in road construction. To capture the effects …

A sustainable design is achieved by balancing the four aspects, so called the four Es, of
sustainability–environment, economy, equity, and engineering. Given that geotechnical …
