This research was performed to investigate the behavior of geosynthetic-reinforced sandy
soil foundations and to study the effect of different parameters contributing to their …

This paper aims at developing analytical solutions for estimating the ultimate bearing
capacity of geogrid reinforced soil foundations (RSF) for both sand and silty clay soils …

The theoretical part of the paper presents the framework of the digital image correlation
(DIC) method as well as its advantages and limitations. The DIC technique that can be used …

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 …

Abstract The Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) is recently recommended as an
innovative base isolation system placed below the foundation of the superstructure for …

One of the common features used for improving the bearing capacity of footings adjacent to
a soil slope is reinforcement by geosynthetics. These elements may somehow isolate the …

Three-dimensional analysis of soil-structure interaction problems considering the response
at the particle scale level is a challenging numerical modeling problem. An efficient …

For many years ago, the beneficial effects of using reinforcement to improve the property of
soil have been demonstrated. Over the last three decades, the use of polymeric …

Thin-walled spread foundations are used in coastal projects where the soil strength is
relatively low. Developing a predictive model of bearing capacity for this kind of foundation is …

Abstract The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) has
initiated a major effort to minimize the bridge end bump problem associated with the …
