<p>Consideration of soil as a living ecosystem offers the potential for innovative and sustainable solutions to geotechnical problems. This is a new paradigm for many in geotechnical engineering. Realising the potential of this paradigm requires a multidisciplinary ...

<p>This paper presents a case history of a distressed 6m to 10m high soil nailed slope formed for basement excavation at fill ground over a natural valley. Above the soil nailed slope, there is an existing 8m to 11m high reinforced soil wall, located 23m away ...

<p>A histrorically slopw moving embankment fill landslide on Secondary Highway 682:02 accelerated to failure in the spring of 2007. The landslide was translational with the failure plane cocated between 4.5 and 6.5m depth within native lacustrine clay. The ...

The removal of groundwater from the subsurface is one of the most common remediation practices in slope stabilization. The use of horizontal drains has often proved to be an efficient and economical dewatering option for slope stability. Despite their frequent ...

<p>A series of four dynamic centrifuge model tests was performed to investigate the effect of foundation densification on the seismic performance of a zoned earth dam with a saturated sand foundation. In these experiments, thickness of the densified foundation ...

<p>This paper focuses on specific advances involving the use of geosynthetics in the different components of waste containment facilities. In particular, this paper addresses recent advances involving the use of geosynthetics in bottom liner systems (e.g. ...

This report is one of the GWRTAC (Ground-Water Remediation Technologies Analysis Center) -E- Series of reports, which are developed for GWRTAC to provide a state-of-the-art review of a selected groundwater remediation technology or groundwater topic.

<p>Through a series of twelve separate geotechnical centrifuge modeling tests, <br />seismic behavior of a zoned earth dam with saturated sandy soil foundation was studied under moderate earthquake conditions. Soil response during and after shaking was monitored ...
