The focus of Soil Mechanics is the understanding of soil behavior, construction with soils, on and in soils, the use of soils as construction material etc. Soil mechanics is a branch of civil engineering that has witnessed an enormous developement during the twentieth century.All aspects of soil mechanics and soil engineering are included in this section covering a wide range of engineering issues such as soil compaction, soil foundation, soil improvement, soil behavior, soil reinforcement etc.

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF RAPID, FLOW-LIKE LANDSLIDES ACROSS 3-D TERRAINS: A TSUNAMI SQUARES APPROACH TO EL PICACHO LANDSLIDE, EL SALVADOR, SEPTEMBER 19, 1982 (2015)
<p>Flow-like landslides are rapidly moving fluid&ndash;solid mixtures that can cause significant destruction along paths that run far from their original sources. Existing models for run out prediction and motion simulation of flow-like landslides have many ...

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF SOIL IMPROVEMENT USING GEO-FABRICS (2015)
<p>A series of finite element (FE) simulations are carried out to evaluate the benefits of integrating a high modulus geo-fabric as reinforcement into the soil-layers in this paper. Finite element analysis can handle complex geometry, different boundary conditions ...

PARAMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF SOIL-NAILING RETAINING STRUCTURES IN COHESIVE AND COHESIONLESS SOILS (2015)
<p>Soil nailing is an effective stabilizing method for slopes and excavations and has beenwidely used worldwide. It is a reinforcing method using the shear strength of in-situground and the pull-out resistance of soil nailing. Research on numerical schemes ...

SHEAR STRENGTH OF A NATURAL AND COMPACTED TROPICAL SOIL (2015)
<p>This paper presents the shear strength study of a saturated and unsaturated lateritic tropical soil, via triaxial compression tests on undisturbed (loose) and compacted soil samples. The shear strength of the soil increases hyperbolically with increasing ...

SOIL NAIL WALLS REFERENCE MANUAL (2015)
<p>This document presents information on the analysis, design, and construction of permanent soil nail walls in highway applications. The main objective is to provide practitioners in this field with sound and simple methods and guidelines that will allow ...

THE SEISMIC DESIGN OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS: A STATE OF THE ART EXPLORATION (2015)
<p>The engineering understanding of the behaviour shallow foundation in earthquakes has developed piecemeal over the past sixty years with the emergence and refinement of solutions to several separate aspects of the overall problem, prompted and provoked by ...

THEORY AND PROBLEMS OF POROELASTICITY (2015)
<p>Many years ago it was suggested by Professor Robert E. Gibson to a group of colleagues to write a book on the theory of consolidation, as the theory of poroelasticity was then called, on the lines of the classical treatise by Carslaw and Jaeger on the Conduction ...

A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE RESULTS OF THE NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF PULL-OUT STRENGTH OF GEOGRID AND GRID-ANCHOR SURROUNDED BY COARSE SOIL LAYER IN COHESIVE SOIL (2014)
<p>The pull- out strength of the reinforcement has a significant role on the function of the most reinforced soil structures. Since the coarse grain soils have a better interaction with the reinforcement, they are mostly used in these structures. In most situations, ...

APPLICATION AND FEEDBACKS OF GABION STRUCTURES IN FLOOD STORAGE PROJECTS FOR THE PROTECTION OF URBAN AREAS AND INFRASTRUCTURES (2014)
<p>The paper focuses on the application of gabion structures in river control and particularly on transversal gabion weirs and spillways in flood storage projects. Storage has the general effect of attenuating the flood hydrograph, reducing its peak flow rate ...

EVIDENCE OF ROTATIONAL MACROSEISMIC EFFECTS IN GREECE (2014)
<p>A considerable number of damaging earthquakes in Greece, have produced a variety of macroseismic effects to both built and natural environment. After a strong earthquake, rotational effects have been observed mainly on free-standing columns, statues, chimneys, ...
