Dynamic soil response and dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) play an important role
on the seismic response and distress of all engineering structures. The role of soil response …

In the case of the rockfall hazards, multiple rockfall impacts usually occur. To improve the
ductility and the multi-impact resistance ability of the rock-shed, geofoam is proposed to …

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is a lightweight compressible material that has been
widely used in various civil engineering projects. One interesting application of EPS in …

The application of compressible materials to reduce the impact of transferred pressure and
developed stresses in underground structures has gained significant attention in recent …

In the present numerical study, using the finite difference software FLAC (version 7), the
effect of EPS geofoam inclusions was investigated on the improvement of the retaining walls …

The efficiency and applicability of geofoam in reducing the earth pressure on retaining walls
were investigated in this study. Finite element (FE) analysis was employed to evaluate the …

Due to extensive sand mining, the depletion of traditional backfill materials is a significant
concern globally. Unsustainable sand mining practices, driven by construction demand …

To explore the active earth pressure characteristics of light weight soil with EPS particles
behind a rigid retaining wall, the variation law of the earth pressure of light weight soil with …

In recent years, special attention has been given to the effects of underground spaces and
structures on the seismic response of adjacent ground. Nevertheless, to the best of the …

Retaining wall structures are widely used in different civil engineering projects including
building construction, highways, railways, water conservancy, harbors, and many other …
